Ok I need to see this cocaine cowboys game. And I forgotbellingham in the title grrr

lol indeed the imperials have had a good run. Thanks guys. once we get into the swing of things Ill start it back up.

So we are going to be in seattle this friday so I can't commit to this. We should probably just call is suspended for a while. Sorry but I just can't see us getting a regular schedule down right now.

Hm regret on my part for scheduling the scan Tuesday. Hopefully next week as I love cocaine!... based games.

So Keisha and I will be down Friday night this week around 6 to play some board games. We are missing a player or two from our Imperial Assault campaign so we are not sure if that will be up or something else. We will bring Imperial assault, Firefly and whatever else we deem fun at that exact moment. Anyone else up for board games this Friday?

Yes indeed a thousand times this. That and Obamacare are a huge difference between us and having to go all breaking bad. Thanks again all.

Thanks all. The real focus right now is that we have some great doctors and drugs available. We have a really good prognosis and after a year she should be back up to 100%!

Ok no problem. We may or may not proceed with some side missions. Ill let ya know.

So we went to Seattle last friday to speak with the folks at Cancer Care Alliance. I have pasted in our family update. Just wanted to update you all. We are doing decent with the news and have a rough year ahead. We will hope to game as much as we can, even gaming during chemo. Thanks for the support so far guys. Sr Lumpy goes to hell part 2. Short answer TLDR: Chemo for 24 weeks, though only every 2-3 weeks. Then Mastectomy, followed up with radiation for 6 weeks. Keisha has an Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in her right breast. Triple Receptor positive. It is a little worse than we thought. It is aggressive, so they are going to treat it aggressively. Step 1 is the Chemo. First set is 4 treatments two weeks apart. Next set of treatments are 6 rounds every 3 weeks. I got lost with the names, but the takeaway is that Keisha should have a relatively normal life during the chemo. The doctor was awesome about it. He stated that nausea is not acceptable in 2015, lol. Amazed at the advancements in the drugs today. Step 2: A modified radical mastectomy. This is step two as they want to be sure the cancer hasn't spread on the molecular level. Ie, they want to make sure there are not any molecules out there that could turn into cancer later before they do the surgery. Timing wise, we are looking at this stage happening in the fall of 2015. Step 3: Radiation. 6 weeks of daily radiation, with short appointment times. This will happen 6-8 weeks after surgery. Very few side affects for this today. The doctor here was really nice and good. This stage will be rough, as we will most likely have to find a temporary house down in Seattle area. I should be able to telecommute and we will figure out the rest. This stage may not happen until late 2015 or into January of the next year. We will figure this out after the surgery, but still something we have to plan for. Plastic surgery for reconstruction will be considered after radiation heals. Overall the cancer is worse than we thought, but the prognosis is as good as we could hope. We live in the best time to have to deal with this disease. One of her chemo therapies was just approved in september of 2013. Even a few years ago this type of cancer could have been worse. It is going to be a rough year, but we have our plan now. The care we received at SCCA was amazing. I feel great that we are in the right place. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers. We will be figuring out our plans in the coming weeks. We appreciate all the offers for help and we will lean on anyone and everyone. For now it's just waiting until we start the chemo.

Howdy. We are set to start back up this week. Everyone still good with 6pm on friday?

So I am out tonight, can't walk again due to failing to not eat a cheeseburger. Let me know if you are still looking for bits of stuff after everyone else brings stuff in.

Ok I will put together some stuff for you to look at on tuesday. I should have a lot of various pieces that will work.

40k or fantasy?

So we are going to be out of town the next two friday nights. We will re-start this on the 20th if that works for everyone. So the next time we convene, I may have us go on a few of the side missions to get some xp for you all and gear stuff. Might make the missions a bit better for you all.

Anyone want to try out Imperial Assault? If not, Ill bring down some board games and look around for an infinity demo/1st game.

wow sorry man. good luck

thanks all I passed this on to Keisha

Hello all. Just wanted to say thanks for the kind words about Keisha. She was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday. We were lucky and found it early, only noticing it a few weeks ago. Long term things look good, but we won't know for sure what the plan is until we head to seattle in a week or so. Everything from the Biopsy results make us think a surgery should be able to remove the damage and she will be good to go in a few months. Sorry to create the drama in the weekly game post. I just didn't remember the apt when I posted, kind of was putting it out of mind until it showed up. We will resume playing board games this week. So lesson from this is to make sure your partner checks themselves out regularly, or you know help her out yourself!

Yes she is good to play. Ill post in the main forum to not clog this one up to clear it up.

thanks for the kind words. Not sure this is the forum to discuss it. Keisha is well. Game on and we will roll dice again soon.

We are good for friday. I have painted some stormtroopers and have some 3d terrain to bring in.

Keisha and I are going to have to cancel. She has a doctors appointment and we don't expect good news. We probably won't be in the gaming mood. Next time.

I have some Tau just sitting in my shed. Ill see what I can find.

We will meet again this Friday night at 6pm. I will pre-read the first mission, so we should be able to get two missions in with no kids this time. We do have room for 1 more player if anyone is interested.

I can vouch for Keisha, she would sit down and play the Game of Thrones game if there is still room. For me, I would like to either teach someone how to play Imperial Assault, or get a teaching game in for Infinity if anyone can. If not, I shall paint some Imperial Assault.
