Scott’s latest news has weighed heavily on my mind. We are still trying to do things, check things off his list. Just spend time as a family. Despite his symptoms progressing, more fatigue, more nausea. We got some options from his oncologist and most aren’t looking too good. He could do chemo. He technically only did one treatment back in October. Then he did radiation and when he was supposed to do chemo, his counts were too low for a few weeks. Then his symptoms progressed and he couldn’t do chemo. So much time has passed. There are two other options we will learn more about later.
But Scott doesn’t want to do it. He really doesn’t want to continue to get sick. He can’t have another operation – the tumors aren’t operable. Nothing can be done to eradicate the cancer. The doctors can’t make any promises that the treatments will even work. If they do, they aren’t even sure how much time he could gain from it.
Scott sets small goals for himself. Right now, he just wants to make it to his 35th birthday. That is all. Beyond that, maybe Valentine’s Day.
We went to see Mockingjay with the girls, went shopping at Kohl’s, and went to Painting with a Twist as a family. We spent time with some friends who are in town, playing Magic: The Gathering and Crokinole. We evening went out to eat with them.
I am now in the planning stages of a big birthday bash for Scott. I’m excited about putting on the biggest, baddest birthday party he’s ever had!
