Christmas comes early

Hi all,

Christmas came early in the LeBrun household this year. Captain Mayonnaise has been staying with us for about 3 weeks or so. On Saturday, he took us to Sears and he bought us a 52" flat screen TV! It's an early Christmas present he said. I'm still shocked. I keep looking at the TV in the living room, saying to myself, "I can't believe he bought us a 52" flat screen TV!" It's very nice and opens up the room a lot. Now I have a 56" projection TV I need to sell. Anyone want a very nice TV?

Now I'm wondering if this means I have to be nice to Mayo now. Let me think...NAH!

But Thank You for the awesome gift Jim!

In other news, I've been having some very bad joint pain, from my hips to my ankles have been killing me since Friday night. Sunday I woke up, got up to go to Church, and proceeded to get nauseous, so I was in bed for the better part of Sunday. Today at work, I called Dr. Silver at Dana-Farber to tell him about my symptoms and he gave me the results of my latest CT Scan that I had done on Friday. The cancer in my hips remained unchanged, but the wonderful news is that the nodules in my lungs got SMALLER! Yes, that's right, smaller. That's awesome news because it means that something's working. I have an appointment to see him on December 19th to discuss future treatment. If this is working, he'll probably keep me on what I'm taking now, which is the Faslodex. So everyone, keep doing what you've been doing. Thank you!

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving because I'm going over to my Mom's and my sister and neice are going to be there. I can't wait to see Brianna, she's getting so big. And there will be awesome food, so I'm really looking forward to that! :)

So I don't write until then, Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I have lots to be thankful for this year.
