Hi everyone! Just a quick note to let you all know I won't be having surgery tomorrow. I made a lot of phone calls, but just in case you didn't hear yet, I wanted to let you know! My sinus infection has pretty much cleared up, but I'm still on an antibiotic and my surgeon isn't comfortable with that. It…

Hi everyone, Well, surgery has been postponed until next Friday, March 18. When I called my surgeon's office to find out what they do if someone has a cold, they said they wouldn't do surgery. So, we had to reschedule. I'm disappointed, but I know that God has things under control and my timing is not always the BEST for…

Hi all, Thank you so much for your prayers. I have been doing much better in regard to my thoughts. Also, the insurance company came through with the approval in time to stay on schedule for surgery. Speaking of surgery, it is scheduled for this Friday, March 11. I have come down with a cold that seems to be a…

Hello everyone! I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately, so I thought I would share with you how things have been going. I did have my last chemo treatment on January 31! It is so nice to be done with those and the side effects caused by Taxol. It will take awhile for it to be out of my…

I haven’t written an update for a while, so I thought I might as well write since I’m sleepless in Maple Valley tonight! I’m really looking forward to being able to sleep on Monday nights again. Everything has been going really well with my treatments. My blood counts have been maintaining at good levels with the shots that I give…

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a SAVIOR has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” The Jewish people…

Well, I have a lot to share with you all – and it's all good! First of all, I was able to receive both of the treatments that were scheduled for last Monday and yesterday. My blood counts were very good last week and a little lower this week, but still within the acceptable range for treatment. Therefore, I will…

Well, today was a bit disappointing. I went in for my treatment and my blood count was down too far to give me chemo today. So, I had to have a shot of a white cell booster (Neupogen) and will have to give myself two more this week. Then, I will go back next Monday to see how it is…

Hi everyone, Well, I come to this update with more good news than I've had in awhile! I had my first treatment of Herceptin and Taxol on Monday. These drugs both have risks, but the side effects have so far proven to be very minimal. During the administration of these drugs, there are immediate risks, such as a severe allergic…

Well, it's been awhile since I updated everyone, so I thought I better let you all know how things are going. Today is Saturday and I had my 4th treatment on Monday. This one was not as bad as the 3rd treatment. I only had about 24 hours that were as bad, which is much better than a week of…
