Vacation is Over…Time for Real Life

We had a great time on vacation.  We started out on Monday with a pool day.  Tuesday we went to the T-Rex Cafe in Downtown Disney, Clearwater Aquarium (home of Winter and Hope the dolphins from Dolphin Tale), an off site facility with movie sets, props, and a faux hurricane that we could walk through, ending the day at Pier 60 on the Gulf in Clearwater.  Wednesday we went to Magic Kingdom for fourteen hours.  Thursday was laid back, we spent the eventing at the Cocoa Beach Pier playing in the waves and building in the sand.  Friday we went to Lego Land which was fabulous!  If you are in the area and have children around Wylee's age I would highly suggest it.  Saturday we went kayaking at Shingle Creek in the Everglades and were lucky enough to see a wild ten foot alligator and a small two foot alligator in addition to several turtles, fish, and other wild life; we ended up the night by visiting with some family members I hand't seen in sixteen plus years.  Sunday we took a walk across the Big 5 waking bridge from Jeffersonville to Louisville with some friends and let the kids play in the splash park.


Today I met with my oncologist. The cancer is back. It's localized to one lymph node. He said I will probably never be a patient that goes to one year visits because it shouldn't keep coming back like this. Thankfully looking at just radiation this time. I meet with my radiation oncologist Monday morning. Third time's the charm?
