The Week in Review

We’re back. The crew is still asleep so I thought I would take this opportunity to sit down and get you updated.

Monday – We had a great time up at Muskoka Woods, touring the camp and visiting with Mark, Sandra and the girls. I think we fit the entire camp experience into 6 hours…tour of the camp, rest at the driving range, boat tour of Lake Rosseau, swim in the lake then dinner by the camp fire. We can hardly wait to visit again. (A picture below of Andrew and Sean with cousins Emily, Brianna and Sarah on the boat.)

Tuesday – We spent the entire day at Canada’s Wonderland. Steve and I were both amazed at how well the boys did on our 8 ½ hour adventure. We went on a ton of rides (got wet a few times), saw lots of shows and ate junk food all day. The boys also found Sponge Bob strolling around the park as you can see from the picture below.

Wednesday – We spent a relaxing day at Steve’s parent’s place in Thornhill. On our way home we stopped off at Steve’s Uncle Mike’s golf store (free plug – Par Golf in Brampton) where I bought a set of clubs and some golf shoes. I think I’ve finally made it through the final right of passage into the Groves family. I have no idea what I’m doing yet, but I’ll look good.

Today – The boys will be staying at my parent’s place while I go to the Cancer Clinic for my first dose of Herceptin. Herceptin is not a chemotherapy drug; it is an anti-hormone drug that is used to treat patients with HER2 protein overexpressing metastatic breast cancer. That would be me. Basically, the Herceptin binds to HER 2- positive cancer cells and blocks them from dividing and growing. I’m sure more details will follow after my appointment today.
