Things were starting to get planned and then all of a sudden everything changes. As they were scheduling more and more appointments for me I contacted the research coordinator and asked if I should book the hotel for next week. He told me not to book anything until one of the doctors called me. A…
When Xavier first started his goalie training we had some group sessions that he would attend. Normally my preference is to 1:1 training as it caters to him and not to the lowest common denominator. These sessions were free as the association had paid for them and he would go and socialize with other kids…
Today is family day and we have been pretty lazy today. Mel slept in until close to 10:45am, where she just lounged in bed. We have not had a weekend like this in a while where she can sleep in. I did not sleep in and was up at 3am. It is awesome with the…
I am going to start this post about my sister in law because that was requested. Whenever my mother in law asks me if she can make me anything I always request the same thing. Flan. For over 15 years I have requested that, maybe even closer to 20 years. She made it once and…

Sometimes you do not realize how things are going until time passes and you have time to reflect a bit. Mel worked from home in Monday and was a bit preoccupied during the day. It was a bit emotional for her that day with all of the news that we received. I thought that I…
Yesterday I think Mel and I were a bit preoccupied after chatting with the oncologist in the morning. Afterwards Mel did quite a bit of research and she found out other techniques used to treat this and I actually found a research institute in Spain that specializes in treating this. They want a lot of…
We met with my radiation oncologist this morning who is a friend of mine. Our kids played hockey together years ago and we worked together at HSN and it is someone that I like to get his opinion on things. He is extremely biased to try and help me and what he says carries a…
