No News is Good News

I realized after my third "how'd the test go" text, that Spencer and I were unintentionally leaving you all in suspense.

The PET scan went great; A.K.A. they did not see anything "new" goin' on. So that's a W.
Next up (tomorrow, 2/8) is a little laparoscopic surgery to view the stomach from the outside. In hopes that we again do not find anything new that we do not already know about.

Again - thank you all so much for your continued support, kind words, and prayers.

Chat soon,
Mad & Spen

I'd love to say the fam and I were starting this blog to entertain you all with our exciting and ever changing lives - alas that's not why we're here. Dad has been served up a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma ( ad·e·no·car·ci·no·ma) with a side of perigastric lymph node involvement. And because that meant absolutely nothing to me besides, "Your Dad has Cancer," here is what trusty Google has to say about it: Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that forms in mucus-secreting glands that line the inside of one of your organs (in our case, we're talking stomach) And as far as perigastric goes - it is essentially a pretentious medical word for "around the stomach." How'd we get here? Well. Dad was either on track to becoming a weight loss guru or something was not going quite right. He has lost 75+ pounds since about late September. A quick 4 months. With some added difficulties keeping food down, Mom sent his ass in for a full body check up. What wa

Supposed to do?

Was I supposed to accomplish something this year..? Was I supposed to somehow manage to find peace in your death? Was I supposed to find God? Was I supposed to be stronger, better, a rock? Was I supposed to pack, unpack and repack my over 50lbs of emotional baggage? Spoiler alert, Dad. I did none of those things. And let me tell ya, that extra $100 dollars in baggage fees issa real bitch. So what did I do?  Well. I resented and avoided. I pushed away. I pretended and deflected. But I also bought Cinnabon cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning (and proceeded to eat the entire box alone) thinking of all the Christmas mornings spent with you, ma and Spenie. I taught spin classes to your playlist. " I LOVE your music !" Did you know you can do sprint intervals to Brick House? (do you even know what a sprint interval is?... ) I thought about you fondly, and often. I had Valentines. Mom, Spen and Cherry were a close, close second. And I realized, finally
