Priceless

Whew! It’s been busy…busy…busy around here lately.

Momisan is doing well and pop is on the mend. He hasn’t been feeling well for the past few days, but he’s moving along in the right direction.

I took momisan to a dermatologist appointment last week. She still has that rash on her legs and a tad bit of swelling…and then or course there was the freak-out when her dermatologist told her that she was removing some spots that could become cancerous.

They say once you have cancer, you develop something called “cancer head.” It’s that thought that lives in the back of your mind that each and every time you go to a doctor they will tell you that it is cancer, or related to it.

It’s not only common, but completely understandably. So when momisan's dermatologist mentioned those spots could be pre-cancerous, she got a little upset. But after speaking with the doctor and explaining it to momisan that the spots were not cancerous, and they were removing them as a preventative before it got to a pre-cancer or cancerous stage – all was right in her world.

As for me, when the dermatologist asked to see my legs because apparently the spots are heredity, I told momisan that she could stop adding to our medical history any time now…any time. But thankfully, no spots here!

Well tomorrow is the big day – Relay for Life and much like the MasterCard commercial, being there as they announce momisan's (and pops) names during the survivor ceremony will be priceless. She is really stoked about wearing her survivor t-shirt, getting a medal and making a lap (as small or as large as she can) around that field – I have already packed the Kleenex for myself and the wingman. It’s going to be a joyous celebration that I would not miss for the world. Go Momisan!!!!

I still have a lot to do before tomorrow, so I am going to cut this blog entry short. I have the video camera all charged up and I will be sure to share momisan's victory lap – she has definitely earned it.

Special shout out to mom’s nurse Nancy and her sister Cindy…tomorrow we will relay in your honor as well. Keep the faith; continue to fight and now that there are people in Texas praying for you as you continue your journey.

Blessings to you all…and three cheers for the Dolly Momma!!!
