It’s hard to explain, but as I try new things in our new town, I find myself comparing it to St. Louis. I guess it makes sense. I compare it to what I’m used to. But where I think my problem of acceptance of this new place is thinking that everything in St. Louis is better.

From a health perspective, I met with my new oncologist today. And what I (think) I have discovered is the younger you are with cancer, the more quickly you get an appointment. I could be wrong, I have no idea how other people go about making dr appts or getting into new physicians. But I know once I am talking face to face with the dr. They always say, when I saw your records, I told my staff to get you in immediately. 

The good news is I really like my new oncologist. He is all about me living a normal, healthy life. Or maybe I just like him because he said he isn’t giving me chemo. 

But overall, I’m having an ok time adjusting. I think it will take time to find our new groove and make new friends. But in the meantime, I get to hang out with the cutest and coolest 19 month old and 3 year old!!

Happy birthday to my baby boy!
