It's been business as usual around here in the health department, as far as chemo is concerned. Ken has developed a serious cough over the last few weeks, but according to the Nurse Practitioner it either "just allergies" or his "tumor has grown into the lymph nodes in his lung." The only way to determine what's going on is to do a CT scan. We are waiting to hear from the oncologist to go ahead and make an appointment to rule out any growth. The neuropathy in Ken's hands and feet is worsening, but according to the doctors, this is normal after stopping oxalyplatin and it can take up to a year for it to go away. This makes buttoning a shirt, walking and even driving pretty difficult at times. But hopefully he'll start to feel better soon.
Nicole, however, needs to beef up on her cribbage game...due to the fact that she lost to Jim 3 games to 1 the other day and now owes him $20...
As an incentive for renting our storage unit, we were able to pick a professional sport game that we would like to attend for free. We decided to hit up the Avalanche's second to last home game and hopefully see them clinch a playoff spot.
We lucked out and were nine rows off the ice, just to the left of the penalty box.
Sadly, though, the Av's lost to the Columbus Blue Jackets and didn't make it to the post season....
And...they may have hit up a few bars throughout the weekend!
Ken's mom was able to make a visit to Denver while Nicole was gone, which enabled them to have a lot of quality time together. And this past weekend, Nicole's parents stopped in to Denver on their way to Las Vegas. So...needless to say, we've been pretty busy! We hope you all had a wonderful Easter and we hope to see you all soon! Love, Ken & Nicole
