Merry Christmas!!

The very happiest holiday wishes go out to all Stanus followers! This is guest blogger, Sister Suzie.

Mom, myself, and Jesse drove up two days before Christmas to spend the holiday with Nick and Sally. It has been many years since we have all been together so it has been a Christmas Miracle!!

All is well and we've really lucked out with bluebird skys and mild temperatures. Presents were opened in the morning and tonight we will have a huge feast with guests, Chendy.

I'll be sad to leave, but looking forward to making plans to get back up! Love to all and may your NEW YEAR be happier and healthier!!

Thanks Dominally!

Ct Results

Hello all,

Just wanted to pass along the latest information from yesterday's CT scan. After 8 rounds of chemo, there is no new evidence of cancer. A couple spots that were on the liver have disappeared and what is left are one small spot on the liver and one slightly enlarged lymph node. According to the scan, those two spots appear to be calcified, basically hardened cells that are not multiplying as normal metastatic cancer cells would. So, it could be said that there is no evidence of active disease, which is great news. Therefore the plan, is for me to finish my chemo with another two rounds, and in the meantime consult with the liver surgeon to decide how to deal with those two spots and from there I might be lucky enough to say goodbye to stanus and resume normal pooping procedures. Like usual we'll keep posting the cancer news, as well as the usual regarding our daily lives. Thanks for continuing to check in on us and take care.

Charger Power

Hey All,

I got down to San Diego a couple weekends ago for the Chargers 50th Anniversary Celebration. Not only was it a fun football weekend, but I also got to spend some quality time with the family. Dan, Jeri, Ryan, Shannon, Suzie, Jessie, aunts, uncles, and cousins all got to do some catching up. Sunday we watched as the Chargers beat up the Chiefs. On Saturday we took a little driving tour around town, visiting some of the old haunts, prior to a Suzie Boozy Floozy Birthday dinner. On Friday night we were down in the gas lamp at the Chargers block party, hanging with some of
Pop's old teamates, cheerleaders and Captain Morgan. Enjoy the pics.

Thanksgiving

Just wanted to share some pics from Thanksgiving. We had quite the feast with Chad, Wendy, Torrey and Katy. Also - thanks Wendy and Katy for looking in on Pi while we were gone! You guys are lifesavers...
