    hi lindsay, just had time to flick thru some blogs and read your tanning dilema. please do NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT use a tanning bed. i was a sun worhipper too, and when i was a teenager/in my 20's we used to sunbake with babyoil on our bodies and face - it was the done thing. no fake tanners back in those days. even when we went snow skiing we didnt bother about sunblock and came home with red faces. we tried the sunbeds but that got too expensive back then and they started to connect sunbeds with skin caner so that went out of fashion. now at the ripe old age of 48 i am madly trying to recover my skin from tanning/sunbeds. its turned into an obsession because i dont want ageing wrinkly skin - a big age give away. and the creams are expensive. i only use fake tan now and wish i never baked in the sun/beds when i was younger. im very lucky that my skin has responded well to the creams but i'm a slave to them and if i had my time again wish i never abused my skin.
    so lindsay, please buy a spraygun coz its not a good look being old and wrinkly later on and thats when you need all the help you can get to keep looking good and healthy! even if you dont get a lot of wrinkles the pigmentation blotches will come out!
    i'll get off my soapbox now !!!!!

    Thanks, Amanda! I know that it's not worth it. The having horrible skin part actually scares me more than the cancer risk! I already have and have always had bad skin...don't need it to get any worse!

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

One Year...

One year ago today... the day it all changed. It was a Tuesday. I got the call from Matt around 3:00. I remember I was sitting at the computer at home. Matt told me that he was at the hospital, and that Bob Scott, his boss, had driven him there. Then he said those 4 words I never expected to hear: “The tumor came back.”  My heart stopped. Matt had gone in that morning for an MRI, as he has done numerous times in the past 10 years. He was now at the point where he had an MRI just yearly now, and that one was done in February, which showed that everything was fine. There was no sign of tumor growth, which had been the case for the last 10 years, praise God. But because Matt had been having some seizure activity for the last few months, they suggested he go in for another MRI in July. We then decided we should move up the appointment, because he had been having a headache every day for the past week. Good thing we did.... After I hung up with Matt,  I immediately brok...
