A year ago today was the first time we went to NIH. To celebrate we went to NIH again - go figure. Even though Warren isn't having chemo this week, they still wanted to see him in clinic to check on his progress. They've decided they are not going to repeat the PET scan in a month, but rather wait 2 months and then do another CAT and PET scan. I can't believe its only been a year. I remember looking at the date on the badges last August and wondering if he'd still be alive when it was time to renew. The stress of that time shows in the picture of me that they took to put on the ID badge. Stress seems to be a side-kick of cancer; you just can't get away from it whether you're the patient or the care-giver. Its not all bad though; you really learn to appreciate the good days and the small gestures. It can bring you closer as a couple. I try to etch in my mind all of the things that I love about him. I don't let things go unsaid anymore. Every moment is a precious commodity.
The rest of this afternoon I'll probably putter around the house dusting and putting things away. Hope your day is a good one. Have some cake.
