Cancer sucks

it hurts the person who has it and those around.
Update- stage 4, they got the cancer around the tonsil, there is some nerve damage in his shoulder, they aren't sure about the nerve damage if any in the tongue, it was around the carotid artery and the jugular vein and they will have to do scans to see if it went into his brain or anywhere else in his body. Definitely chemo and radiation.

Today is the day!!!!

Today is the day some of the stress of the last month starts going away! I'm so happy!

A little update

Still a lot of stress going on but things are changing ever so slowly.

As for the last batch of referrals - December 27th - an 8 day batch which is "huge" compared to the last few months. That means that we have 17 days until our LID. I've been trying to figure out when we will get our referral - again.

So,

1 day = 17 months - might as well look at the absolute worst case scenario right?
2 days = 9 months (October)
3 days = 6 months (August)
4 days = 5 months (July)
5 days = 4 months (June)
6 days = 3 months (May)
7 days = 3 months (May)
8 days = 3 months (May)
9 days = 2 months (April)
10 days = 2 months (April)
11 days = 2 months (April)
12 days = 2 months (April)
13 days = 2 months (April)
14 days = 2 months (April)
15 days = 2 months (April)
16 days = 2 months (April)
17 days = next month (March) - have to look at best case scenario as well!

One referral site says:
If China did all future referrals at the exact same speed as they did this month: 2008-04-08

Our best guess - a weighted average of recent CCAA velocities, guessing that CCAA will perform about as well in the future as they are performing now, but might return to previous trends: 2008-04-01

That's our best guess for when you might receive your referral. Just at a guess, we can suppose that the CCAA either speeds up or slows down significantly, and show you those dates. If they speed up: 2008-03-02. And if they slow down: 2008-05-26.

The other one isn't updated with their guess yet.

My guess - May, June or July then travel 2 months later (July, August, September)
