Hannah is one of those people that is never sick.   As a baby I can remember one night when she was about 2 1/2 that she puked 4 times in a night – twice in her crib and then twice when I brought her into my bed.  Only problem was that I only had two sets of sheets for each bed and I think we...

Tony and I met with the surgeon yesterday.  He had the results of the CT scan and I am not going to lie both of us have had knots in our stomachs waiting for this appointment.  The moment of truth to see if the cancer has spread or not. THE CANCER HAS NOT SPREAD! We of course, are beyond thrilled.  We have a surgery date...

Our office closed at 3:00 yesterday afternoon and I knew then that I would be off of work today.  It was a scary drive home because it was white out conditions – I could only see about 5 feet in front and behind me, and the road I drive on has a speed limit of 55 – and people were still driving that fast –...

When we first moved out her almost 10 years ago, the first thing you do in any new town is find the best pizza and best Chinese restaurants.  We found a Chinese place almost immediately – the shrimp toast was by far the best we’d ever had, each dish that came to the table was so fresh and flavorful. But after that first visit, each...

I normally don’t post on the weekend, but wanted to share this recipe with you – it was so good!   The other night I showed you a new Green Giant product (new to me!).  The whole 11 ounce bag is only 3 points!  I had leftover chicken and leftover cooked pasta, so my version of pasta primavera was born! 😀  My lunch portion was only...

I met Tony at his doctors appointment to meet the surgeon.  Um, turns out our GP didn’t set up an appointment as his nurse had told us, so they had no idea we were coming.  So we waited about a good hour while they had all of his charts and lab work to be faxed to make up his file before seeing the doctor. Even...

The other day when we announced that Tony had colon cancer, MaryBe left a comment that said “if pink is for breast cancer, is brown for colon cancer?!”   I laughed when I read that!  Tony took it seriously though, and came up with our badge: We are both a bit nervous for today’s doctors appointment with the surgeon.  Sometimes there is too much information on...

Here is Tony’s comment from yesterdays post: Mr. Biz (Tony) says:   January 25, 2011 at 6:25 pm (Edit)   It’s been a long time since so many people discussed my ass. Thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers!! I am constantly amazed how wonderful and thoughtful you all are during times like this. This cancer picked the wrong ass to attack. I...

Thanks for all your wonderful, heart felt comments yesterday! (and Twitter shout outs!) As I was sitting in the waiting room waiting for Tony to have his procedure, every time I heard the “ding” of another comment, it felt as if I was getting a virtual hug from you! Some good news!  The tumor will be removed with surgery within the next two weeks.  We...

Although Tony and I could see it in the doctor’s eyes at his appointment last week, Friday night at dinner time we got the call that Tony has rectal cancer.  And while we both kind of saw it coming and had a couple days to digest it, I know both of us were hoping for better news.  We’ve decided that our mantra is going to...
