Helping a caregiver can be as simple as a text like this. This National Family Caregivers Month, reach out to a caregiver in your life when you're running errands.

November is National Family Caregivers Month!

To help you honor the caregivers in your community, we've created FREE downloadable content for caregivers, care recipients, and those in the position to support them. Six designs in formats for printing, newsletters, and social media are available for download on our website.

Thank you for celebrating caregivers this month and all the months to follow!

This is what we look like when we're not at a medical facility! We just returned from three wonderful days at our favorite place: Lake Superior. We tried to soak up allllll the goodness in preparation for this afternoon's appointment with Sean's oncologist to learn about recent scans and what this means for our future.

10/16/2026

Big day. Sean just had a chest CT and will have a liver MRI shortly. The MRI will tell us if the immunotherapy and targeted therapy he's now had two doses of is working or not.

What we do know for sure is that the cancer in his jaw that was removed just 4 months ago has returned. The options for dealing with that are not good, but everyone's waiting on these MRI results because if the liver is worse...

It feels like we've been playing the game Tetris for years. In the beginning the pieces fell slowly and we could manage them, but in recent years the pieces are coming more quickly and stacking up higher and higher. We fear we're nearing the end of the "game". Today's scans will be key in understanding if that's true.

There's a tiny chance we'll get any results today. Otherwise, they'll likely show up in the portal next week and we meet with his Oncologist on Thursday.

We're spending next Monday - Thursday at our happiest place: Lake Superior, which will ease the waiting a bit.

Thanks for your continued love and support.❤️
