Half Full Thank You

Just found this video. Marcie and I appear at 1:12. Our youngest daughter is in a pic at 1:25 holding a "My Mom is Half-Full" T-Shirt. Who is going to do this race with us this fall?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

It has been far too long since I posted. Not because things are not going well. Things are actually going very well! No growth, feel good; busy, busy busy. I will post soon with some plans for a great 2011: Easter trip (mountains), summer trips (beaches). Which triathlons? Which races to run? (Race for Hope in DC, May 1) Where to ride my bike? How to convince Marcie to get a road bike?

We are off to a great fitness start. Hitting the pool and the gym regularly. A Spinning class kicked my butt.

Have a great year everyone!

Inspiration can be found any where.

Jake the Snake!

I am so excited! After putting the purchase off for too long, Marcie convinced me to go ahead and get a new bike for Christmas. Can't wait to get it muddy! Ho, ho, ho!

Oh yeah, Dr. P, my oncologist, said that since the Temodar regimen is going well and I tolerate it well I will stay on for six more months. Crush that cancer!

It is Thanksgiving break, my parents are here, the girls are happy and I am married to Wonder Woman. I have so much to be thankful for.

Bizarro World and Happy Thanksgiving!

My bizarro world: where hearing that I will get 6 more months of Chemo is very good news!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I have a lot to be thankful for.

Peace,

Jim

Where did that month go?

It is amazing how fast that month went by since my last post. In a nutshell, I am great. Had an MRI on November 1 with the follow up on November 5. It looked good! Still a dark spot but it appears to have shrunk a little. So I will continue with the Chemo (Temodar) every four weeks. Of course, this week is a chemo week! Brilliantly, I scheduled a day long, outdoor field trip with my eighth graders this week and parent conferences at the end of the week and grades were due...

gotta go. Dinner at Wegman's!

It's Chemo Week!

Compared to other forms of chemo, these pills are a breeze. This pic is a week's worth of Temodar. I like the way the doc described these pills, like whack-a-mole. The pills are the hammers to crush the surviving cancer cells.
