This cute man said he wasn't going to plant a garden this year. (This is 6 tomatoes, 1 jalapeño, 2 zucchinis, 1 yellow crookneck squash, and 6 cucumber plants later.) I love how he always keeps going no matter what.

Our quiet backyard and my herb garden.

I love coming home to my herb garden and our back yard after we've been in busy SLC!

Chemo stopped working. Trying a 3rd chemo.

I don't even know where to start... Dick had scans today like he always does every 6 weeks. We were planning on him being admitted and getting his 24 hour infusion (chemo) after he visited with the doctor. Instead, the news we received from the doctors changed our plans.

The tumors by his liver and pancreas grew. Some doubled in size. The one in his abdomen grew. Dick's tumors didn't only grow. They have spread. There are many new ones in the abdominal area.

The doctor decided to take him off the chemo he's been on for over a year. He feels like it has run it's course and is no longer doing it's job. There are very little options for this cancer. One option he gave Dick was to stop everything. Dick told him that was not an option and that he would rather die from the side effects of chemotherapy than not do anything.

He started a new chemotherapy today. It doesn't require him to get admitted to the hospital. It's given as an outpatient. It doesn't infuse for 24 hours, only one hour. He will get it every week on Monday instead of every third week. He will get scanned in eight weeks and see if it stabilizes the tumors. They don't think it will shrink them but hopefully stop them from growing and spreading.
