Tony's parents arrived last night and everyone is in the best of moods... I'm not sure who was most pleased at seeing the other, Tony or his parents. Tony is in good form and has more energy every day. So I'm happy!
Tomorrow we have an appointment with the liver surgeon... we'll find out whether or not the embolization worked. Keep your fingers crossed...
The weekend was busy with basketball. Richard's team did very well. They played four games and only lost one of them. The team that beat them was from Long Island, NY. They were really good. It was a good experience; but exhausting... I'm not cut out to be a taxi driver.
Sandee, I read your post today... Thanks! You are in our thoughts.
Take good care everyone!

About Me
- Renee
- Montreal, Quebec, Canada
- I am a happily married 40-year-old mother of two boys, 13 and 10. A little over 2 years ago, on our wedding anniversary (Dec.03-'04), my husband (38 years old at the time) was diagnosed with colon cancer. We have since learned that his disease has metastatised to his liver and that he has a disease called FAP. Although his case was spontaneous, meaning he did not inherit it, our sons each had a 50-50 chance of having the same gene mutation. As it turns out, our youngest son also has the gene mutation and, at his last scope, had 18 polyps. In order to deal with all of this, and other challenges, we have had to learn to live one day at a time.

Hi Renee, my name is Sue and I am a friend of Sandee's. I have stage 1V colon cancer. I am on Xeloda and was wondering why Tony was taken off it...? In 2003 I was stage 3-colon - spread to one node. In Dec 2006 stage 1V. I had part of my liver removed Dec. 2006 (got clear margins) along with lymph nodes (few postive). I had 28 radition treatments (lymph node area) and now Im on the oral Xeloda which is not too bad. Please email me if you would like to at sue123@twmi.rr.com
Renee, I am always reminded of your continued support every time I look at my bear :)
Hang in there Tony, as long as there is life, there is hope!
