Vacation 2013

Months ago, as we started planning our family vacation, we listed all the places we dreamed of going.  We looked at our budget.  We researched flights and hotels.... We noticed each of us kept talking about how much fun we had last year.... so, we decided to go back to the Bahamas.  This time, we decided to take only Natalie and Larissa, so we could spend some time doing things and relaxing with them.  We looked at the calendar, counting out the chemo dates to pick the best time.   I talked to my sister, Amy, about watching Olivia for the week...  A month after booking the tickets, we learned that my cancer was back and we made plans to start the new chemo, NK-102. 

Olivia was overjoyed to be spending a week with "My Amy" and her cousins, Coral, Phoenix and Terran.  The week before we left, we started packing and Olivia would pack a new bag every day and ask many times if this was the day she was going to "my Amy's" house?  August 26th came quickly.  With Olivia safely in 'her' Amy's care, we headed to the Bahamas.

Bucket list: Limo ride.  Check!

Spend most days floating together in tubes.

Snorkeling and swimming.

Vacation

It is never easy to plan a vacation for a family of five.  Summer makes it somewhat easier to plan for the kids between soccer and camps, but when Mom has cancer a vacation has to be scheduled around chemo and labs and trying to just figure out when I will feel ok.

From my Bucket List (in my head) I wanted to take my kids to the ocean and see them play in the sand and water.  We planned a trip to Nassau, Bahamas.  Here are some of our photos from our trip in the Summer of 2012.

This week we are back on vacation again in Nassau, Bahamas.
So we could spend some fun time with Natalie and Larissa,
Olivia is spending time with Aunt Amy
and Amore is at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
I finished my 5th round of NKTR-102 on August 12, 2013.
I will be getting a PET/CT scan when I return.
Your thoughts and prayers will be greatly appreciated!
