Well, dear ones, I thought I should let you all know that things have gotten a lot better in the past couple of days. I still feel really weak, but my stomach has settled down a lot and I'm feeling much better. I have severe heartburn and developed an ulcer a couple of weeks ago, which is very common with…

Dear Friends & Family, I am writing to request prayers. I had my 3rd treatment yesterday and it has really been difficult. I am pretty miserable. My headache is a little better, but I am having a lot of stomach troubles and feeling very sick. It's kind-of like a really bad flu, but I feel like my body has been…

Hi everyone, I thought I should update ya'all on what is happening with us this week. First of all, thank you for your prayers regarding the sickness going through our family. It stopped at Amanda, praise God! The rest of us are doing fine with no signs of illness. I have had a mild cold since my first treatment, which…

Hi everyone, Just a quick note to ask you to pray for the health of my family. Brayden woke up yesterday throwing up and is fine today, but now it's Amanda's turn. I would like prayers that it will stop there and not affect the rest of us. It's very crucial that I stay well so that my blood counts…

Well, I have a lot to share with you today. I have been doing really well this morning, so I thought I would take the time to do it now! I had the most amazing time at the Race for the Cure in Portland. There were approximately 27 women there on 'my' team. We had shirts that were lovingly designed…

Well, I'm coming to you to ask for some specific prayer about my side effects that I'm experiencing today. Yesterday, I felt mild flu symptoms (aches and pains), but today I have been feeling a bit of nausea. I think the main culprit is the headache that I have as a result of one of the anti-nausea medications. So, it's…

Well, I just finished a nap after coming home from my first chemo treatment. I feel drowsy, but other than that, am not feeling any other side effects at this point.The drugs that they gave me to combat side effects are pretty extensive. They are given at the time of treatment and then I also take them at home for…

First of all, I have to thank you for your prayers for my pain level. I seemed to hit a turning point on Friday and was suddenly feeling so much better. I knew I was getting better when I thought, "I have GOT to get out of this house!" So, the next day, I actually got to go watch Colby…

Well, praise God, we didn't have to wait very long for these results! We are once again rejoicing in the faithfulness of our God! The PET scan did not detect any abnormalities. In other words, they found nothing to indicate that I have cancer anywhere! There were no areas that lit up in my whole body. So, that is a…

Hi everyone!I ended up getting the CAT scan results earlier than expected. I wanted to share them with you and ask for further prayers as a result. The CAT scan showed that there are two spots they want to evaluate further – one on my lung and one on my liver. They are very small – 7mm and 4mm, so…
