Parties, 14 weeks, and chemo...

Friday went well...the whole group pretty much smokes so they spent a majority of the time out in the garage while I just hung out inside. I really didn't mind, it gave me a chance to just relax a bit.

TODAY...I'm officially into the 2nd trimester...14 weeks!! I'm so excited! I just hope the rest of the time goes fast now...haha

Yesterday we found out that one of our friends who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is already in stage 4 and has started chemotherapy. Its really too bad that they caught it so late and it had already spread. She's so young...in her late 30's...and has kids at home...I just hope the chemo at least slows it all down for her! Sadly, one of her kidneys has already shut down...not a good sign...

I am so sorry about your friend. Having watched my best friend battle Breast Cancer, even caught early, its not a fun fight nor an easy one to watch.

I hope that it was early stage 4, then there is still hope and dialysis can help the one kidney but as long as the second is functional she should be ok.

We are "lucky" here (and I use the term loosely as no one with Cancer is lucky) that Boston has some of the best hospitals in the country.

I am psyched for you for 2nd trimester!! (had to end on a good note)

Congrats about being in your 2nd trimester! : )

I am sorry to hear about your friend. Pancreatic cancer is a sneaky bastard. I hope they are able to pull through.
