Nicole writes from Hippocrates

Hi everybody! I've been meaning to write about my experience on the flight to west palm beach. The flight was originally scheduled to land in w. Palm beach, but due to a storm they had us circling in the air outside the airport for an hour. Gas was running low, so we had to fly to Miami to fuel up. People were beginning to freak out, fears were running wild, plans were taking another turn. The poor guy in the row next to me had been praying the entire flight.

Once landed in Miami, no one was allowed to exit. So we were all stuck together in the same boat. Cell phones whipped out, people were anxious and standing up. It was actually kind of cool. After some complaining finished, there was nothing left to do but talk to those around you. In the 45 mins we were stuck on ground I had the best time listening to others talk about themselves, where they were from, what they did for work, or just whatever. It was such an uplift talking with others. A unity came from a annoying disturbance. It was the best part of the flight!
I kind of feel this way about my cancer. It's a huge disturbing annoyance from my day to day routine, but as a result I feel more unity and compassion with everybody.

Thank you for showing me so much love in so many awesome ways! I am Very grateful.

Nicole

Bye, Bye Chemotherapy

Today was the last day of Chemotherapy. That does not mean Nicole will be suddenly feeling spectacular, but the last of the poison has been infused and now it's only a few short weeks until she heads to Hippocrates Health Center in West Palm Beach, FL. Then a few weeks after that our big show in Petaluma.

I want to tell each and everyone of you that has helped us, watched Kaitlin, brought food, called, emailed, facebooked, text messaged, thought good thoughts, prayed, sent donations, and generally just loved us: THANK YOU! To say I have not shed my share of tears, yelled, kicked, screamed, been stuck in self pity, and had a few laughs at this situation would be a lie. What I have come to realize is that for every emotion I have had, I have also had someone to share it with. I am one fortunate man. Just to put it on the record: I would walk to the ends of the earth to help each and every one of you if that time comes.

I absolutely need to thank Nicole's Mom Paula LeVeck. She has made the trek down from Stockton to watch Kaitlin during almost every one of Nicole's infusions. This is a long drive to take care of one active two year old. We were not always outwardly grateful to Paula, in fact, many weeks we were frustrated, irritated, arguing with each other, and just generally unhappy. Paula has been an absolute rock, and while I know that being here for her daughter was also meaningful to her, she deserves our deepest gratitude. She also deserves a very personal thank you from me, for listening to me complain and never once judging me for my over reactions or anger.

And my parents, who have a lot going on for retired people. Thank you for being there, especially this last weekend, when I really needed some time to myself.

This has been an extremely trying 5 months for everyone at our house, but most of all Nicole. She has been the living definition of grace under pressure. Kaitlin knows mommy is not feeling well, but has not once had a lack of love and attention. Fact: Nicole got 2hrs of chemo today, and is reading books and giggling with Kaitlin right now.

On to phase 2.
