"Love is a verb not an adjective"

Well another week has passed and we are still seeking answers. We have met with more Physicians and Oncologists and seem to leave each time with more questions than we have answers. As for now it looks like maybe the second surgery will not be as effective as we had previously anticipated. Chemotherapy is sounding like it might be the way to go. A PET scan has been scheduled for next week. There is a chance that the cancer has spread farther than we think. (Lets hope not) This scan will show if there are more distant metastasis other than the paraaortic lymph nodes that we already know about. If that is the case then 3-4 cycles of chemo and then possibly surgery will be the answer.(we think) Hopefully we will know soon. The anticipation and anxiety is almost enough to send us to the ice cream freezer multiple times a day. Melanie has taken on the role of landscaper along with her many many roles she has around the house. The kids think something is up but still think that I'm just sick. I am recovering well from surgery, and it is nice to be up and around without much pain. Yes I have tried to go running. 3.5 miles never felt so long. I even tried mowing the lawn the other day. Yeah,,, I needed help. This already has been a humbling experience. It is hard to go from being able to do anything I want to having to ask for help to turn my soil and even finish mowing my lawn. Thank you to good neighbors, friends, and family for all the wonderful meals and help we have already received. Your kindness and prayers have helped us start this journey. You will never know the impact that a phone call, meal or act of service has on us right now!
