Well, I finished round 4 on Friday, so back to my corner, battered and bruised I go, waiting for the next bell to ring....which I hope isn't for a very long time!!! hahaha This one was a kicker, but got thru it, and the chemo-brain is slowly de-fogging......I only wish my dad's MRI results had been better. Even though he got thru about 90% of his treatment, the nasty, agressive tumor, ended up GROWING 1/3 LARGER! Talk about a blow!! I was expecting them to say it had, atleast, slowed down or stayed the same. They have given him 2 options....hospice or an experimental chemo. My dad wants to do the chemo...he's not ready to give in yet! Of course, the wonderful world of insurance doesn't want to pay for it, so we are hoping that he will qualify financially to get it paid for. We should find out on Friday if it's a go or not. I only wish I could be there with him right now.....hopefully soon. Our relay is a week from this Saturday and I'm going in 10 different directions at about 900 miles an hour......and of course, loving every minute of it. Having my dad fighting this battle too, just makes me want to fight even harder, for him.........if he won't quit, neither will I!!!
I hope to get to the theater this weekend, so I can actually see the video on "the big screen".....something I never got a chance to do last year. Our local paper came to our committee meeting tonite, to do a story on our Relay and our honorary chair, so am looking forward to getting to read her article in this Friday's paper. She's a great writer and always loves to do our relay stories!!
Health and happiness to all!!! Cindy

Keep on keepin' on!
I used a song in my Luminaria Ceremony this year that made me think of you!
It's called "Champion" by Oleander. It's so very awesome and many survivors came up to me afterwards and thanked me for the song and asked about where they could find it.
Our Relay is over. And let me tell you, Noah's Ark could have pulled right up out of the river that's next to our site. Our Relay is on an island in the Ohio River near Pittsburgh.... it rained all day ... but it stopped and dried out before the Luminaria Ceremony. And then, of course, started back up again at midnight.
Hope all goes well with your Relay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
