I asked about the details of those features but the medical jargon was lost on me. I learned that my cancer is not a “simple” (I use that word lightly) HER2 positive case and that my cancer contains additional features that could be delaying the tumor from shrinking. I asked why my cancer seems to be an outlier from previous HER2 positive treatments. Though I am disappointed that the shrinking seems to have stopped, I still have faith that I will be cured at the end of this journey!

If it were growing, we would stop treatments and move right into surgery. Since it isn’t growing, we are continuing on the current path to finish the next 2 treatments that include Perjetta and Herceptin before moving on to surgery and radiation. There has not been any changes to my tumor or lymph nodes so it isn’t growing (yay!) but it isn’t shrinking either (boo). This week’s checkup was similar to the previous one. Here are a few updates of this past week… Happy Saturday, friends! I feel like I have been gone from here for far too long, so sorry! This week has been quite busy. Enjoy this beautiful day with loved ones! I’d love to hear what traditions you share! We are thankful for all of the amazing Thanksgivings that we been blessed to have, for the incredible family & friends who love and support us more than we could ever have imagined, for it being a “good” week that allows us the ability to travel and eat well, for this gorgeous fall weather, for each other and for each year that brings a new spin to our Thanksgiving traditions. So today, though we won’t have turkey and fixings, we are thankful. Tomorrow ee will join his aunt & uncle, who are kindly hosting us in their home for a feast and celebration. Today, he is in uniform protecting this wonderful city. Though, instead of celebrating today, we are waiting until tomorrow so that my soon-to-be brother-in-law can join us.

This year, we caught an amazing sale on plane tickets early in the year and we are back in the beautiful late fall that Georgia offers. Jacob, despite only eating milk at the time, was the head of the table (something that seems rather fitting!). Last year, my baby sister and her (now) fiance traveled back to Florida to spend little man’s first Thanksgiving with us. The following year, we decided to head to Georgia and experience a cooler fall Thanksgiving, where we were able to bundle up and snuggle to keep warm in the chilly air. This first year was also the infamous year that I dropped the freshly baked apple pie that my little sister made for dessert.

It started with my younger sisters coming to spend their first Thanksgiving in Florida with the windows open and wearing tank tops. The last four years though, we have taken on a new tradition that has been named the Brown-Hall-Rivers-Thanksgiving-Extravaganza. “The Joe’s”, as my uncles called them (something they laughed at for years), were welcomed into my family gathering without question.Īfter moving to Florida, we spend the first few Thanksgivings at my in-laws, with the exception of the year we bought our house when we hosted for the first time ever. I immediately invited them to my grandparent’s house and after a little hesitation, they both agreed. Him and his roommate were going to stay home and order a pizza. The first Thanksgiving after I met Joe, he wasn’t planning on celebrating the day because his family was in Florida. Sometimes the table, sometimes the couch and sometimes the stairs going up to the second floor. We would line up with our plates and serve ourselves heaping helpings of food and then sit wherever we could find the room. There were so many aunts, uncles and cousins that we ate buffet style. We would all gather at my grandparents house for dinner promptly at noon. Other years, my family would spend the day with my mother’s side of the family. We would eat all day, having second and even third dinner, with naps & snuggles on the couch in between. The adults would sit at the main table and the kids would have their own table or two. We would sleep in on Thanksgiving morning and wake up just in time for appetizers at noon. All of the cousins would stay up late the night before, sharing stories and giggles. When I was a child, my family would sometimes spend the weekend in Rhode Island & Connecticut with my father’s side of the family. Over the years, Thanksgiving has taken on many different forms.
