Leading up to next round

I had a pretty normal two weeks. I went to my cousin's baby shower in Raleigh (see pic below).


I had dinner with some colleagues.  My friend from Atlanta visited for the weekend.  We shopped and I melted my credit card. But damn, I've got some cute new clothes!

I had to fend for myself for food.  I'm not great at that.  Fortunately, I've got my dad and stepmom very close by and I crash their dinner frequently.  When I was working late, my dad picked me up - so sweet!

I went to the Amazing Maize Maze with some friends.  This thing is awesome!  It's this huge corn maze and you go with a group of friends to find your way through the maze by collecting pieces of the map.  There were 12 pieces and three levels of the maze - 5 pieces, 5 pieces, and 2 pieces.  You get a blank map, a big flag and don't forget your flash lights, head lamps, and warm clothes (and beer, wine, or flask).  Last year our time was 1hr 50mins.  The year before, when I wasn't there, they did 2hrs.  This year we beat our time again with 1hr 36mins.  

I'm looking forward to some other visitors from Atlanta in a couple of weeks and some friends from London might come for Thanksgiving - yay!  And then the piece de resistance is my mom and brother, sis-in-law, and two nephews that will come for 10 days for christmas. YAY!!!!

Looking at scheduling of my treatments, I've got 3 more (last one was yesterday - I'm writing that blog post next!), and then my scans in January and I get my results on 1/22/13.  That is what I call the Go/No Go for the liver surgery.  So there's the date, nothing to do until then, other than complete the chemo, get over the side effects, feel normal, and see friends and family, oh and I'm going to San Francisco for work - sweet!  Not bad :)

More soon,
Sarah
