Hello! I am Melanie. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, friend, and a person living with cancer. Welcome to my blog: Between the Scans. When I started this blog, I was subject to quarterly scans. I am thrilled to say that for the last two years, I have been on an annual schedule and continue to show no evidence of disease. However, I will not forget from what I have been spared, and will continue to cherish each day! Save for the first few posts, my blog has very little to do with cancer. Rather, it is about life: the beautiful, fun, hard, mundane days.
More about me.

Ode To The Suburban
I just watched our 2003 Suburban drive away for the last time. While I am sure our neighbors are glad it is gone, and to some extent I am, too, there is a bit of sadness in watching that faithful behemoth leave.
On a crisp, clear South Carolina winter day, I went to the dealership to get just the one I had been waiting on! I chose the model, the color, and every single bell and whistle! It even had On Star (back before all cars or even phones had GPS). I wanted it to be perfect, because as a mom of three boys, I was going to spend a lot of time in it! Back and forth to preschool, elementary school, middle and high school it went. Road trips across the country, lacrosse tournaments, basketball games. It shuffled as many kids as could safely fit to movies, fieldtrips, the park, the lake.
