NC here we come

I just finished my 19th week of chemo!!  Do you know how long that is...that's half of a pregnancy!!

So, like I said earlier we started a new chemo that was supposed to be more aggressive and get my HCG number to 0 within a cycle. Going into Wednesday the doctor was hopeful that this would happen. But...my  number only dropped by 0.2, from 5.4 to 5.2.

Because my doctor has never treated this type of cancer before and because she doesn't really know what to do next, she is transferring me to a specialist in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I have an appointment on Monday and they said I could be there for two hours or ten days...depending on testing and possible surgery. I guess we will see what Monday brings.

Payton had a birthday this last week, we didn't do much because he had a lot of homework, and all I got him was two powerades. HA. Eason decided to say "da da" for the first time on his birthday! We tried to make a cute sign for Payton, but all Eason wanted to do was eat it.

Here's a picture of the nurse using my new port for the first time. It was really nice not having an IV hooked up to my arm.
