Father's Day Dinner, More Scans, Kids Waiting at Stanford, Chicken Pot Pie

Father's Day Cheers

We had a fabulous Father's day yesterday. We started the day out by taking the kids to a Sunday church BBQ at the nearby Edenvale Park. The kids had so much fun seeing their friends and playing in the playground, while I also caught up with some friends who continues to pray for us.

We packed the whole day filled with more fun as we visited my parents, ran some errands to get the girls some more dresses, went to Lowes for some home improvement ideas and even went out to a nice Father's Day dinner at Macaroni Grill. 

The kids loved dinner and did so well waiting.  Here are some pictures of them playing as we waited for dinner and them toasting their Dad, Cheers and wishing him a Happy Father's Day!

More CT Scans today
So last week, with my counts being low, I didn't qualify for chemo. Since my babysitter did a no show, I had to take the girls with me to my Doctor appointment at Stanford.  Luckily, my Dad came along to help me watch the girls as I went to see him.  Here they are having a good time playing with one another as we waited to see my Dr .

My Dr. has agreed to stop the Zumeta treatment and has discussed some other treatment options like possibly switching over to the Tarceva chemo in a pill even though I do not have the EGFR mutation. He says it doesn't hurt to try since it may help me.  This concerns me a bit since it sounds like a trial and error treatment option.  He wants to try this because he is concerned that my current chemo may not be as effective due to my hips and back pain worsening since February.  He's worry that my cancer may be "spreading" more to my bones wants to be extra cautious to prevent any further bone spread or bone mestastizes.  With that, he has schedule me for a CT chest, abdomen and hip scan today.

Let's hope and pray that the results will turn out good. I'm nervous as usual.  Hopefully, it shows signs of recovery.  We'll find results soon this week as I have to come back again to Stanford for another round of labs, Dr appointment and another attempt at receiving my chemo treatment.  Let's cross our fingers and pray for good news.

Dinners by our Friend

For the past months,  one of our good friends has opened her hearts to us and has been a big help in cooking us fantastic dinners.  Being a busy mom herself of 2 wonderful kids and working full time, she and her husband still manage to cook and bring to us home cooked dinners almost a few times a month.  Here is a picture of her fabulous Chicken Pot Pie. Her cooking is the best!  There's nothing like home cooking. The kids and us just love her and her family dearly.  Thank you so much BC for your ever yummy home cook meals. Thank you for always thinking of us and having our kids play with your kids too at your beautiful home as well!
