And before this last chemo round I really did get this feeling of Ingrid telling me it's time to get out of the nice, warm relaxing water again to do the hard work... oh... do I have to? Yes... I do. <br />And also the fact that if all goes as planned... this whole process will last around 9 months... and the food aversions, the bit of nausea, the exhaustion right after each round of chemo... so much to compare to childbirth... I think maybe you really can birth cancer... greg|reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921243406753752300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390960884009884247.post-62437782141607231752013-07-15T04:39:36.874+02:002013-07-15T04:39:36.874+02:00regan, so glad to hear the chemo is working. the d...regan, so glad to hear the chemo is working. the doctor asking you what you thought of its size reminded me of a midwife asking about the babe's progress outward. can you birth cancer? you seem to have a similar intuition for both. also i loved what you said about how big and small william seems. i see that in ollie too. perhaps oddly, watching him on videos helps me see him as a little guy. take care, katAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390960884009884247.post-49824793375769259092013-07-13T17:34:37.744+02:002013-07-13T17:34:37.744+02:00Norsk!Norsk!George H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00510456908334451963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390960884009884247.post-8977074039261449292013-07-13T15:27:15.460+02:002013-07-13T15:27:15.460+02:00Oh, and Nina... it looks like maybe George was spe...Oh, and Nina... it looks like maybe George was speaking Norwegian... but I don't know... maybe it was supposed to be Swedish all along... greg|reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921243406753752300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390960884009884247.post-54337176529192254302013-07-13T15:26:32.217+02:002013-07-13T15:26:32.217+02:00Thank you Nina.

So good to hear the chemo seems to be doing its job. Loved this patchwork post of your family times, grandpa woof on the bike, your mom, and most especially seeing you in that first photo. Sending you lots of healing energy from Madison.

Your photo of your son standing in the path leading to a verdant meadow (and the beach, I guess) was truly breathtaking. Fine job. Flink jenta!
