Cross Cancer Orientation

Yesterday was a good day overall, we went for our Cross Cancer orientation.  Our whole beautiful and supportive family came for the session. Darcy, Leanne, Megan and Ashley; Renaye, Dallas, Amanda and Alyx each and everyone of them made concessions to be able to attend. We are so much stronger together.

The Cross Cancer is essentially run by caring volunteers many of them survivors of cancer themselves.  We kindof overwhelmed the poor little lady who was initially going to give us the review.  She was not expecting 10 of us and seemed quite perplexed lol. She made a valiant effort but in the end called upon a lady more experienced in larger groups. And that turned out to be for the best. Susan, was great mixing just the right amount of information, seriousness and humor into the session. I think each of us took away different positive   things.  One of the thing I gleaned was that the  Cross Cancer clinic  knows that you do NOT want to be there and so will do the utmost to make the stay as comfortable as possible.  We learned that chemo comes in various forms and can be regulated to adjust to the side effects that Norm may experience. I do believe we will have an information session on the chemo as well once the time is near.  That should be in a couple of  weeks, Oncologist visit a week after the radiation and treatments about a week after that. 

We left the Cross and went to Moxie's for lunch. Lunch was great as always incredible to be together discuss the events of the day and find the laughter that we always do.  Thank you so much for being the best family in the world. Love you all to pieces. 

Norm and I spent the rest of the day just chillin' at home, preparing for the start of the radiation treatments on the brain. 

Thank you for listening to me I think this will be therapeutic for me and hopefully keeps you up to date on Norm's progress.
