• Not Such Good News

  Hello out there in the land of the internets. It's been a while since I blogged and I fully intend on resuming my recaps soon but we got some bad news in my family recently that just kind of kicked me off of it.
  My cousin Tassy, who I've mentioned previously, was told by her doctors recently that the cancer is back and the growths are bigger than last time. The chemo has stopped working, so they're trying other treatments, but everything is experimental. We're all trying to be optimistic because she's a really strong person and she defied the odds last time, but the whole thing is kind of scary and shocking.
  I guess after the last round of treatments, as naive as it was, with the tumours shrinking and the doctors giving a good prognosis, I thought that everything was over. I mean as it was, when we all originally found out she was sick, I didn't believe that there was any other option than recovery. Even when I gave her a hug back at the wedding in June and felt for myself how skinny she'd become after all the treatments, I just thought to myself "This is all temporary. All there is now is for her to get better and stronger." And now, that all just feel so far away and I feel so foolish for not realizing what was happening.
  Anyway, I know that anything is possible and I'm convinced that if anyone can get better, it's Tass, but I figured it at least wouldn't hurt to put some good juju out there and to ask anyone who reads this to do the same.
  Thanks,
  Mrs. Hummingbird
