She found out Friday that the tumor came back sometime in the last 2 months. She's starting IV chemo and Avastin. We are hopeful that this treatment will shrink the tumor and that the treatment won't suck in the suckiest suckness of suck. Ever hear someone say that the treatment is worse than the actual illness? Yeah, that's not the case here. I think she would stick hot pokers under her eyelids if it would cure her cancer. Hell, I would do it right along with her if it would mean that this fucking tumor would disappear.
Other than that, Carroll's doing great. She started back to work the beginning of January and didn't have any trouble picking up where she left off last July. We celebrated her daughters 1st birthday at the end of December, which was such a treat. Lily is so sweet and girly. Her birthday is actually the beginning of Jan, but Carroll wanted to make sure Ciara's husband could be there. Ever thoughtful, our Kiwi.
All in all she's hanging in there. Of course this news was a blow and not what she/we wanted to hear. But as Kiwi would say, "It is what it is." Seriously, she has the best attitude.

Yes, my wife does have a wonderful attitude and has been holding up much better than most people in her situation. And as for Lilly, she's only a girly when she's around your house. Here, she runs around pulling up her shirt and picking at belly button lint, pulling up Daddy's shirt and jabbin' a finger in his belly button, drooling like a faucet and constantly jabbering and blowing raspberries. I sometimes wonder where she gets it from. On the way home from daycare the other day, she had one shoe off and was digging like a coal miner between her toes. . . . . it was the cutest thing you ever saw!
i love carol
So sorry to hear that she has to walk this path again! My thoughts and prayers are with her. cg
