Alexa finished up Spring Basketball with an undefeated season & winning the playoffs. She also had her 5th grade concert where she played th guitar to the Beatles.
Kourtney finished up w/ Middle School track. Also, Kourts and a couple friends (Megan and Monica), from her soccer team, participated in the Relay for Life 5/22-5/23 Eastlake HS -for Cancer and walked from 11am - 7am. They were The Mosquitoes (because cancer sucks!) We were so proud of them and after pulling an-all-nighter, they had a soccer scrimmage the next morning! What troopers!
My college roomate, Kristen Whitcomb Pochipinski, came to visit for a night w/ her son and quickly gave Kourtney her first driving lesson....letting her drive the rental car...backing it out of our driveway. Yikes!
Last I went to the Northwest Melanoma Symposium w/ my mom and listened to many SCCA doctors, (Dr. Byrd & Dr. Yee), talk about the newer treatments they have for advanced melanoma. I am already involved with Dr. Yee's T-Cell trial in case I ever need it and then they discussed the new drug Ipilimumab- soon to be approved by the FDA and a treatment I could possibly go on, once approved. http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2010-06-07-melanoma07_ST_N.htm Those symposiums always hit me with statistics that make me realize that every day is a blessing :-) I have now been on GM-CSF for a year and still NED - 13 months and going strong :-) I will have my next PET/CT at the end of June.
Thanks all - more exciting news to come in the June update!
