So much to be thankful for...

Thanksgiving 2011 - Spent the day with Jonas, Brandy, and Bryce.  They are so awesome! I wasn't very good company, but it was nice knowing that it wasn't expected either. Had a great time, watched the Packers win, ate wonderful food, and got overly tired...Didn't mean to overdo it, but just got tired really fast. Maybe this is how it will be for the next little while. Had to come home and have a nap. I'm wondering about going back to work and how I will cope with that, at least for the next few weeks until treatment starts.

I go to the surgeon tomorrow just for a check up. Maybe he will be able to answer some lingering questions. From what I am reading, this is Stage IIIC which means it is in the lymph nodes above the collar bone. I would like to know how widespread it is in the lymph nodes and how long this has been going on. He may not be able to tell me and maybe I will have to wait for answers from the oncologist. I also need to go to the Cancer Resource Center at CRMC. I need to find out what help they can give me.

So many things to do that are unpleasant, but need to be done: Living Will, Funeral plan, Mortuary arrangements, cemetary, etc. Not that I think that these things will be needed soon, but I don't want my kids to have to deal with it.
