Update 8/8 and 8/11

Well I haven't post on here in a long time but we have been busy. A lot has happened though. Mel and I went on vacation to New Orleans. It was so much fun! We did a fair bit of stuff there but the biggest thing that happened is when we had stopped in Mobile for 2 nights on the way back. On the 2nd night we went to a restaurant that was way to fancy for us. We stayed anyways though, and sat behind these really nice couple. We got to talking with them and somehow got onto the topic of cancer. The ladies dad had survived it and they actually ended up paying for our meal. They where that touched by our story. It just nice to know that there are still amazing people that are willing to do something nice for total strangers.

 Today we found out about the scans that I had this past Monday. And the scans showed that the cancer in my lymph nodes has gone down a lot. Unfortunately they weren't small enough to say that the treatment worked. It was close though and because of that I am having to so through another scan next Thursday. Its going to be a P.E.T. scan and we found out the results the following Wednesday. So its not good news but not terrible news either.

Now I realize this isn't 8/8 anymore. Its 8/11 and I just forgot about this. I thought I had published it but didn't really get to it. Anyways we have been busy since the 8th clean the house and getting it ready to sell. We already have a family interested (they actually contacted us before we even thought about putting it on the market.) Also tomorrow is my birthday! So today we had a little get together with my family and family friends at my uncles house for my birthday. It was also suppose to be a family cancer free party but we hadn't gotten that good news yet. (And I still hope to have a cancer free party with all of my fraternity brothers and friends! Just need to get the good news first)
