C****r talk

Yes, the C-word.  We haven't mentioned it in a while on here and more and more people have been asking us about it.  No fear though, consider no news as good news for now.
As you may remember, all of this and that happened last July (along with several other things in between, which you can read about here). Following that drama the doctors watched Scott like a hawk for six months with blood draws and scans every few weeks.  In December his levels finally dropped the slightest amount and there were no other signs of growth big enough for us to see.  SO, we have been free birds since then!  Kinda. We just live everyday knowing that Scott still has cancer in his body, but that there is nothing we can do about it, and we are grateful that it's under control for now.
It's so weird that something so traumatic and stupid can start to become "normal" to live with.  We've made many new friends since Scott's diagnosis (when everyone we knew, along with their uncle, was aware of what was going on), and I find myself somewhat surprised when Scott cracks one of his stupid cancer jokes, or I casually mention it in a conversation, and people get uncomfortable or are shocked that it's true and not just an inappropriate statement.  It's so "normal" to me, I almost feel like it's a feature of us - like the way your nose is shaped or your eyes are spaced on our face.  Of course it's there, everyone can see it, but whatever - it's part of him.  I'm sure this will change with time - but it's what it's like now and most days I don't think of it as anything too serious.  It's just our life.
Anywho, my reason for re-hashing all these details is this: Scott's next appointment for lab draws and such is in the middle of July.  I just wanted to give you plenty of time to get your prayers going for good results.
