Hope all of you ring in the new year with lots of happiness!
I finally had a chance to get back to the blog - forgot password and sign on so I haven't been here for quite some time.
2011 may be a better blog year for me! I'll try to update soon to catch you up.

The Latest
Sorry I haven't been posting here for a while. I update via email and on Facebook more often. I'm currently at chemo receiving my Avastin and Abraxane.
I see my oncologist later this morning for the regular monthly checkup. I have a feeling she will schedule a PET scan and CT Scan for May. Things seem to be going as well as expected. I have been off the steroids since Feb 15. I feel good most of the time, but get very fatigued quickly when doing tasks that require a lot of energy. All in all, I can't complain.
I received results of a brain MRI done the last week of March - everything's stable for now. I have another brain MRI at the end of May and a dr. visit with the neurological oncologist.
My feet are feeling better on their own. I have not taken the gabapentin and hope I don't have to. I still have nosebleeds. There's a possibility I will be taken off Avastin if they continue or get worse.

Posted to wrong blog!
I just posted the entry below to the wrong blog. At this moment, I can't figure out how to copy the entry and paste. I have to go to the bus stop for Gunner, so I'll work on things later.
It's been a long time.....
This is the new photo of our family. We had family photos made at Sears on Saturday. We had been wanting to do this since November, but it just hadn't worked out in our schedule. Unfortunately, Goldie is not in the photo, but I'll get one of her to post later.
Things are going pretty well at the Revlett household. We are managing with me and my cancer, the boys being active and Jeff working lots of hours and helping to coach football and do all the other things that a dad/husband does.
Gunner's playing flag football in the winter league and doing quite well. Games are on Sunday afternoons. Sometimes he and Jeff have to leave church early to get to the games on time.
Yesterday, they left and Brandon and I were getting ready for worship. Brandon laid down on the pew and was being silly. He rolled off and hit his head on the floor. Our church has a hard floor under the pews. He immediately started crying and when I picked him up there was a goose egg almost the size of a regular egg on the back of his head. Scared me and we got some ice. He calmed down quickly, but the goose egg was just sooo big. One of our members is a paramedic. He took a look and though he'd probably be fine, but said if it was one of his boys, he'd go to the emergency room just to double check since it was so big. After a few minutes, off I went. Called Jeff to let him know what was going on. Brandon and I were at the emergency room til about 2 pm. Jeff and Gunner arrived right as we were getting the paperwork to be released. Brandon had a CT (only one! for his age that's great, they usually wiggle too much and have to do 3 or 4 to get good images) and everything was fine. He still has a goose egg today but it's less than 1/2 the size it was yesterday.
So Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
Jeff and I will be married 17 years next Saturday, February 13. We have a special date planned.....
Brandon will be 3 on Monday, February 15. B-day party is scheduled for 2/20 at a local park.
Have a great day!!! :)
