Sarah and I celebrated our 13 yr anniversary on 6 May! We had a nice romantic dinner at a great local French restaurant and this is a picture of one of our dessert plates. The waiter had written "Happy Anniversary" in chocolate on the plate!
It was also a great anniversary gift that Sarah was approved for the SIR sphere treatment. We went in yesterday to have her prelim. angiogram, CAT scan and test run completed. Everything went fine and we were on our way back home by 3pm. The actual SIR sphere treatment will be done next Wednesday. The doctor told us that Sarah could have some pain and nausea after the treatment since her tumor now takes up a fairly large part of the left lobe of her liver, but there's is still a good chance that she will be able to come home on the same day of the treatment. We're not going to push it -- will have to see how it goes.
We are both so relieved to finally be moving forward again and getting back in the fight. It was a frustrating and helpless feeling to be in a forced chemo treatment break as we waited for this SIR treatment to be approved. The goal is to get this done and quickly get back on chemo and Herceptin (have to take a 2 week Herceptin break as well after SIR treatment).

Glad things are back on track, that looks like a fabulous dessert. I am actually coming to Chicago for memorial weekend to go to my cousin's wedding and also hoping to see you guys. But I don't want to impose. If there is anything i can do that would be helpful, I'll be in sat, leaving monday night. I'm fine to play it by ear and see how Sarah is feeling. Good luck - Sharon
Hooray. That is the coolest looking dessert ever!
We'll continue to keep you in our thoughts. Glad you had a nice anniversary!
I know it is such a relief to be back on the offensive. Happy anniversary from another 1995 couple (9/30). Continued prayers for you, Sarah - I think of you so often. I am very proud of you.
