as cape cod turns wednesday december 26 2018 our turn bobby and i took my brother tommy into dana farber today for his radiation and chemo it has been a day i have been looking forward to in a weird way he has had 4 other chemo days and has been going to radiation 5 days a week since after thanksgiving i have been working on those days so other family members have taken him today was our day we passed fenway park on our way in to the city radiation was pretty quick so we waited in the cafeteria for over an hour tommy cannot taste anything and has sores in his mouth and throat both things making it very difficult to eat or want to eat his go to is tapioca pudding and apple juice we took a walk through the healing garden it was very peaceful and made me feel better tommy s left cheek is swollen and red from the radiation which is making it hard to talk and smile we got to meet his adorable dr when did drs get so young he has a house on the cape so of course we bribed him with lobster and clams dr was pleased with the progress and sent us on to chemo there is something to be said for seeing your brother hooked up to different drugs one being called poison and acting like it is natural and normal i did what i could but mostly we just hung out amused him with a few stories and one of us had a nap people often call people fighting cancer brave tommy is brave but the things that impressed me the most was his kindness he was polite to everyone he engaged in conversations about christmas with his nurses he offered a woman his chair he asked his doctor to come out to the waiting room to meet us he thanked everyone he is awesome i am more than impressed and proud of his integrity when you are in a hospital all day you forget about time and the outside world i happened to take a trip to the bathroom at sunset it was beautiful and gave me hope when we went to the valet to get the car the 3 of us were waiting in a circle triangle i looked down and in the middle of us on the floor was a shiny penny i know that that was a sign from our friend mj who died when he was 16 and we were in our late teens twenties we will take all the signs and prayers we can get to cure tommy of this sucky disease brought to you by as cape cod turns at 10 49 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels cancer sucks tommy sunday december 2 2018 no more teens when i began this blog b was 9 k was 10 you and i have watched them grow through this online journal of sort for many many years my moniker was mom to two teens well guess what

your laugh your singing and your inside and out beauty however looking at pictures of you i realized how cute you are in hats quite the fashionista maybe santa will bring you a new one love you honey hope this year is the best one yet brought to you by as cape cod turns at 11 29 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels b birthday monday november 19 2018 judy blume did not prepare me for this my favorite tshirt is one i got a sparklecorn party in 2010 it was one of the many parties at blogher and i believe that year we were in nyc the front of it says judy blume did not prepare me for this it relates in so many ways i wore it painting a bedroom i wore it to physical therapy i ve worn it to the beach on walks to bed i chuckle whenever i wear it because judy blume was my favorite author growing up and she taught me a lot just not everything my brother has cancer again i feel like living in this tshirt wtf my little brother who i am suppose to take care of and protect has a disease that i can do nothing about he had cancer 15 years ago he had radiation to shrink the tumor in his sinus then had it operated on healed and rode his bike every year to raise money for cancer research after the 5 year mark and especially the 10 year mark when it did not come back we all breathed a sigh of relief and sort of forgot about his cancer then this summer he had a sore on the roof of his mouth it seems like a blur from the beginning of september to now but it included an ent mri 2nd opinions and a 6 1 2 hour surgery to remove the tumor sitting at the base of his sinus cavity reaching into his mouth and 49 lymph nodes he is currently trying to gain some weight back before he starts radiation and chemo there are a few blatant ironies rearing their ugly heads one is that the treatment radiation that helped him in his first battle with cancer has caused his second battle with cancer and there is no way for him to avoid radiation again two he has raised 10 s of thousands of dollars for dana farber cancer institute over the past 11 years riding in the pan mass challenge last year alone he raised 30 000 now he is being treated by the very doctors he and his riding are supporting he is starting radiation and chemo after thanksgiving for 6 weeks i thank god for the support of family friends and strangers however i am scared we are all scared the what if s are huge and i do not have judy s phone number to ask her to write us a book on this topic i guess my tshirt and faith will have to pull us through he s done it before he can do it again here is to tommy kicking cancer s ass brought to you by as cape cod turns at 9 37 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday may 6 2018 k is 21 21 years ago i gave birth for the first time to a beautiful red head with a swirl of hair at the top of her head the nurses insisted that she would have curly hair boy were they right the didn t mention that my little red head would be strong willed when k was around 2 i remember telling the pediatrician that she was strong willed and would not give up trying to do pretty much anything until she succeeded the pediatrician assured me that as hard as that trait was as a toddler it was going to be an asset when she got older i could not agree more k as you embark on your year of being legal do not ever forget that determined little girl you once were you can move mountains with your strength ok maybe not a mountain but you get where i am going you are thriving and surviving on the other side of the country you work go to school and still manage to have time on the beach and to hang with your friends i feel that our relationship is stronger despite the miles between us i am so grateful for that and for you brought to you by as cape cod turns at 8 07 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels k birthday 11 saturday december 2

blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels b birthday tuesday september 19 2017 no way jose i ve always loved a good storm there is a certain electricity in the air lots of excitement around town and usually news reporters since we live out on the elbow of cape cod recent storms like harvey and irma were not good storms the flooding death and destruction was tragic a good cape cod storm is a strong nor easter which is what they are predicting hurricane jose to be no one is boarding up shops or houses there is not a run on water but people have moved or removed boats i went out this afternoon to take some pre storm photos the problem with a strong storm around this time of the year is that a lot of leaves fall off the trees and the salt water flying through the air causes a lot of fall flowers to die here s a little taste of pre jose hazel s always ready for a party riptide skiffs piled up brought to you by as cape cod turns at 6 55 pm 1 comment email
