PET scans tomorrow to show the hot spots...I'm hoping for the first time in my life I am more or less dull and colorless...then biopsy on Friday -- I'll have a nice Frankenstein neck...
The day today started out tough...just wasn't feeling super great about any of this (go figure...). I finally pinned it down - sometimes when Lucie has done something really fun, or gone to a party, and we leave...I ask "did you have fun?" and she'll say "no, because I had to LEAVE." That pretty much summed it up for me this morning. If I have to leave, I don't think anything will seem much fun from now on.
But. The sun was out, I got a pedicure with Denise, had lunch with my good friend Vandy, had a good chat with my dad, visited my boss Dave in the hospital with Kevin and Vandy (just got his kidney removed), enjoyed the evening, made a good dinner with Dana and Finn, and gave my husband and Luicie some big ol kisses. So another day passed, and my bad attitude from this morning passed with it. I think I just need to stay busy and focused on things other than this stupid disease...a disease of which one friend has said, "does cancer know just what kind of a BITCH it's dealing with???"
Ha. Love you all.

Pulling for "dull and colorless"!!
Love, Tanja
The only colors you're allowed to think of today are SEA colors! Hang in there - will be thinking of you at your sucky tests today. Love you.
You're in all of our thoughts over here in the shadow of the needle.
If you need a lunch date feel free to give me a buzz... I can always go for some Sushi Land. ;)
Take care,
Patrick
I was listening to this song today at work and thought of you. Strength, Courage, and Wisdom.

This is Matt Berndt from Portland, and me, Neil Brock and my sister Emily, and the whole world, know you will win.
We love you!
Every conversation I've had about this has always ended with, "If anyone can beat this, it's Melissa." Truer words were never spoken.
