The envelope, please!

OK, my Dr. FINALLY got a hold of me yesterday. GOOD NEWS: The cancer has not traveled to other parts of the body. Yippeeee! This is REALLY good news. The not-so-good news: I still have two "hot spots" so I'm due for another round of radioactive iodine in 6 months. It's not too terrible, though, and he warned me this would probably happen. The stinky part is being gone again for a week, but Steve and Noelle managed pretty well without me last time. :) After everything, this is going to sound really stupid, but the metallic taste that STILL hasn't gone away is something I'm dreading most of all. Lame, I know, but imagine not being able to drink water because it tastes like sea water that's had a rusty nail sitting in it. YUCK! Not all food is too bad, but nothing tastes like it should. You'd THINK it was the world's best diet, but all I want to eat are comfort foods because they taste better than anything else does, lol. Ah well, this too shall pass!

Update on the fam: My sister Tiffany and her 2 year old son Dominic are in town. Yeah!!! It's been so much fun seeing them! She got strep throat just before she left, poor thing. She's a trooper, though! Noelle LOVES seeing her cousin and she's doing pretty well. Now if I can just get her to sleep through the night again...Layton High's first game is tonight, and everyone's on pins and needles (especially Steve and his brother Jim, the head coach). They had a FANTASTIC season last year, and we're sure they'll have another great one this year. Go Lancers!

Love you all!
