Treatment #2

12-29-08

I completed treatment #2 today…again everything went well! Thank goodness!

Ron accompanied me today. We were able to meet with Dr. Harker before the Chemo. He was glad to hear that my side effects were minimal. I will just have one week off and then have a 3rd treatment on Jan. 12th. He doesn’t have any idea why I continue to burp so much, but as long as it isn’t uncomfortable I don’t mind!

This treatment was shorter only 1 hour. I only had two bags, the first one was the anti-nausea medicine and then the second one was the chemo. I’m not sure which medicine it was, but I am hoping that the side effects will be minimal again!

This afternoon we have enjoyed the Wii Olympics….I set a world record in long jump, but I sink instead of swim. Maybe Michael Phelps will give me some personal lessons.

We enjoyed a great dinner tonight from the Nehmers and Parks! We are so blessed to have such loving friends and family to support us through this trial!!!!

Thanks for your continued love, support, and prayers!! Enjoy the New Year and GO UTAH……(I will be cheering for the Utes this week!)

Snow and Icicles

12-28-09

We continue to enjoy the warmth of being inside next to the fire while the cold winds blow outside. There is about 6 inches of snow on the ground and the icicles on our home are over 4 feet long!!! Our driveway is clear, thanks to help from our home teacher, but our neighborhood street remains snow-packed! Winter in South Jordan!

Our week has been memorable…Chemo, Christmas, and family! Thanks again to everyone who fasted and prayed for us last week, our prayers have been answered! My first treatment has had minimal side effects…loss of appetite for a couple of days, fatigue for a couple of days, and some constipation! I was happy on Christmas since the food tasted good and I had energy!

Ron accompanied me to Chemo on Monday. During the time that we were there he was able to work on his computer and we talked. Tuesday was his last day of school before Christmas vacation, so on Wednesday he enjoyed sleeping in. In fact we also slept in on Christmas morning since we had to wake up the girls around 9:00 A.M., yes we are enjoying this stage of Christmas in our family!

Savanna has had the opportunity of working at the MTC during the break; she was thrilled to work on Christmas Eve since she was paid double! We are glad that we put new tires on Jamie since the drive down to Provo has been snow-packed the last few days! We enjoy having her home and her positive and fun personality! She loved getting some of her pictures from Jerusalem framed for Christmas! Savanna and Marie also loved setting up and playing the Wii on Christmas Day, in fact all of us have sore muscles from the Wii.

Marie has enjoyed sleeping in each morning and spending time with her friends during the holiday. Marie has proven to be the best “boxer” in the family; it seems that she has the ability to knock us out! Her competitive nature is being shown in the Wii, so watch out Heywood boys I would put my money on Marie! Marie went with me for the haircut and to help me pick out a wig. I value her taste of style!

I am grateful that I felt good on Christmas Day, I was afraid that it would be a hard day for me if I was fatigued! I held my own on Wii tennis and bowling, but I am constantly getting knocked out in boxing!!! So if you want an easy win just ask me to box!!! We loved spending Christmas evening with the Davidsons! We are blessed to be part of such a loving and supportive family!

Last night our family celebrated Savanna’s 21st birthday by going out to dinner….it is sad that it took us over a week to schedule a family dinner, we really are busy! After a great dinner at Wingers and some birthday “Asphalt Pie” we returned home and watched HSM and HSM2 on the big screen downstairs. (Marie did leave to go sledding at night with her friends, which made me cold just thinking about it!) It was the first time that Ron had since these movies! It was a fun evening for all of us!

We continue to feel the strength of your prayers and support. Thank you so much!!!! Tomorrow Ron will take me for treatment #2, we have faith that all will go as well as treatment #1. We will also be meeting with Dr. Harker, this will give us a chance to get some more answers of what we will be faced with plus we hope to find out why I am burping so much!!! My brothers would be proud of me!!!! No, I am not talented enough to burp the ABC’s!!!!

Love ya,
Jolene

Christmas Memories

White Christmas

White Christmas!!!

We woke up to a howling wind and snow blowing parallel to the ground, yes it was a cold, white Christmas in South Jordan!

Cleo was the first to wake us up this year; we had to wake up the girls at 9:00 A.M. ,my how things have changed over the years!!! We must have been good girls and boy since Santa found our house! Our family received many gifts, but the highlight had to be the Wii!!! Watching Ron box was a treat for the girls! He really has a mean left jab!!! We enjoyed the warmth of being inside and relaxing during the day.

We headed up to the Davidson’s home for the traditional “Davidson Christmas”! We love spending time with the family and enjoying food, songs, games, and surprises! We missed having Greg’s family join us this year, but a call from Devan does take priority!!! Thanks to Jim and Nelda for hosting this annual event and their generous gifts! Thanks to Linda for organizing the “White Elephant Exchange”!

By the time that we left our car was covered with over 5 inches of snow! This morning we woke to another snow storm, but at least the sun peaks out every now and then! We are planning on relaxing and spending the day inside. Savanna did head down to Provo to feed the missionaries and Marie went to lunch with some friends. Ron and I are looking forward to another relaxing day!

We hope that each of you enjoy being with your family and enjoying Christmas yesterday!

New Look for the Holidays!!!

12-24-08

Thanks to Suzanne for cutting my hair! She did a great job; I am now wondering why I didn’t cut it short sooner! Thanks to Marie for documenting the experience with her camera phone! I plan on enjoying this haircut for a couple of weeks, after that I will move to the wig, hat, and scarf stage of the cancer treatment!!

Today I feel tired, but luckily I can just relax and enjoy Christmas Eve with the family!

Chemo Day

12-22-08

My first round of chemo went well! I was nervous and I kept comparing the experience to childbirth, you just don’t know what to expect! Just give me an epidural and all will be well!!!

The staff at the Utah Cancer Specialist Center is so sympathetic and caring! Ron and I arrived this morning around 8:00 A.M. . A nurse inserted the “special needle” into my port and drew some blood. I didn’t feel a thing!!! Yippy!!!! We then went to a waiting room and met with a PA, Esther, who then explained some more about the chemo and answered any questions. Since everything was fine with my blood work we then started the chemo. I was seated in a comfortable leather chair, given some juice, covered with a warm blanket, and then the nurse hooked up the first IV bag. The first bag was filled with medicine that helps with limiting the nausea, this took about 20 minutes. The second and third IV bags were filled with carboplatin and genizar. These bags took about 30 minutes each. I was comfortable during the entire experience. The boys would have laughed at me as I wheeled my IV bag holder to the bathroom to take a potty break…too much liquid (juice and IV bags)! The hardest part of the treatment was the tape!!!! Again I feel relieved to get this first round over with!!! Now I just hope that the side affects won’t be too severe in the next few days!

Afterwards Ron and I went and got something to eat and did some Christmas shopping. A snowstorm hit while we were out shopping! It really is cold outside!!! When we got home someone had taken the time to shovel our driveway and sidewalks….Thanks to this considerate neighbor!!! Again we are so thankful for the love and support that friends and family continue to give us!!!! Last night we enjoyed a great evening visiting with Greg and Ruth, we also appreciated the blessings that Greg gave to our family! We love each of you and continue to feel the power of your prayers during this trial in our lives!!!

White Christmas

12-21-08

“Baby it’s cold outside!”

It seems that we have been pounded with a series of snow storms lately! We definitely will be enjoying a white Christmas! The mountains are covered and there is about 5 inches of snow on the ground at our home, and the icicles are beginning to grow on the corners or our house. We are enjoying staying bundled up and near the fireplace inside!

It has been another busy week for the family.

Ron gets to go to school for Monday and Tuesday, then his Christmas Vacation will begin. He remained busy last week with a few events at the high school on Monday and Tuesday night. Wednesday was Chemo Class and Thursday was his final. He is glad to have a break from school. Friday evening we enjoyed dinner with his mom and dad and last night we endured seeing BYU lose the football game against Arizona!!! Hard times for the Cougars!

Savanna is also done with finals, so she is welcoming a break. Wednesday we celebrated her 21st birthday; it wasn’t too much fun since she had some finals on that day! Thursday evening she and Spencer were going to go down to see the lights at Temple Square, but since it was so cold they just hung around the house and took Cleo on a walk! Friday evening she celebrated her 21st birthday with some friends by enjoying delicious food at the Cheesecake Factory. Yesterday she went sledding with some friends and then last night she enjoyed “Cousin Night” with the cousins at Steve and Sheree’s home! Today she is feeding the missionaries. Even though she has some down time it seems that her life remains non-stop!


Savanna & Spencer enjoying the "happy glasses" from Kela

Marie is looking forward to sleeping in for the next 2 weeks during Christmas Vacation. She remains busy too. Friday she went sledding with friends and yesterday she had a lacrosse game and then joined the cousins! She is looking forward to spending time with friends during the break.


Ron & Marie with the "happy glasses"!
My week was full of ups and downs….an MRI on my brain, the port placed, Chemo Class, meeting with the radiologist, and getting ready to start Chemo!!! Yes tomorrow my first treatment will start. We are praying that all will go well and I won’t have too many side effects. Our friends and family continue to provide us with great support. We are continually overwhelmed with the love and support that we feel. Our home is filled with a sweet calm spirit. We know that this is a direct result of the prayers and love that are said for us. Right now we don’t need any extra help; just keep us in your prayers and thoughts! We may need additional help in 6 weeks when the treatments get more intense, and we will be sure to call those of you have volunteered to help.

We hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!! We love and appreciate everyone!!!

More Changes!!!

12-19-08

Another week of ups and downs….just when we get a plan, the game changes.

Wednesday the doctor called to let me know that the brain MRI came back showing 3 small spots. The largest is only 6 mm large! The doctors aren’t sure if these spots are cancer or not, so the new plan is to only do chemo 4 times during the next 6 weeks and then get another MRI to see if there is any difference in the brain spots! If spots have grown then they are cancer and the doctors will aggressively work on my brain. If the spots remain the same then the doctors will know that they aren’t cancer, but then they will aggressively treat the spot on my lung with radiation and the lymph nodes with chemo. We are hoping and praying that the brain spots are not cancer!

Wednesday evening Ron and I attended Chemo Class. It was a very informative and interesting experience. We were given information on chemotherapy and what to expect. The chemo nurses are so kind and caring; I know that they will help me through this experience on Monday.

Thursday I met with Dr. Avizonis, my radiologist. She and Dr. Harker had been talking about me daily for the past few days, so she was glad to finally see what I look like on the outside! She did a great job explaining my scans to me. It was amazing to see what I look like on the inside. Dr. Avizonis showed me the 3 spots on my brain MRI, it was hard for her to find the spots, and they are that small!!! I am so grateful to have wonderful and knowledgably doctors working hard to help me beat this cancer.

My friends at school continue to be a great support to me!!! We have had fun trying to pick out wigs and haircuts for my new look. Their positive thoughts and actions have really been inspirational to me!!!!

Thanks to everyone for their love, faith, and prayers. We continue to be amazed at the kind thoughts and actions that so many people have shown to me and my family! We truly are blessed!

New Game Plan

Dr. Harker called and left a message with us yesterday, today he called and set up a new more aggressive game plan. I will have an appointment with the radiation doctor on Thursday at the Huntsman Cancer Institute at their location in Murray next to the Intermountain Medical Center. Then on Monday I will begin radiation and chemo….I will have chemotherapy Monday through Friday and then again on Monday then a 3 week break. Then I will go through another cycle of chemo. These chemo treatments will be shorter and last 1-1.5 hours instead of 4 hours.

I will also start radiation on Monday and be doing that Monday through Friday for 5 to 6 weeks. The radiation treatment is short and will last only about 5 minutes. So I will be playing this game for then next 4 months!

I am hoping for the best and I am willing to do whatever needs to be done to get this cancer under control.

We continue to appreciate everyone’s thoughts, love, faith, and prayers!!!!

With the new game plan we won't be able to enjoy the warmth of Arizona!!!

More Tape!!!

12-15-08

Another day at the IMC and more tape!!!

This morning I had a brain MRI, another interesting scan experience. This time I wore a special “Football Helmet” to keep my head stationary as I went through the scanner. This scan is the noisy one where I get to wear ear plugs.



Afterwards I had a Power Port put into the area just below my right collar bone. This will prevent me from being stuck with needles while I am doing chemo. It was a smooth routine and didn’t hurt at all, tomorrow I might be thinking differently. I am excited to have IV’s and other needles done through this port instead of my arms. Ron says my arms are looking like I am a drug user because there are so many needle marks.


I arrived home to beautiful flowers from my friends at Skyline and thoughtful gifts from our friends at Heartland. The Tracey’s stopped by tonight and brought us some treats and some frozen pot pies that we can use on nights when I don’t feel like cooking. Carrie Ann Jensen also brought by some frozen enchiladas for us! Last night the Powells brought me some books and yarn so that I can knit while I am doing chemo! I continue to receive thoughtful cards, emails, and phone calls. We feel so loved during this trial! Thank you for all your prayers and support!!!!

The Grinch!

12-14-08

We are no longer dreaming of a “White Christmas”! Yesterday it snowed the entire day, a perfect setting for our ward Christmas Party. This year the activities committee did “The Grinch”. Everyone was encouraged to come to the party as “Who’s” so we were very impressed with the creativity that was displayed. The delicious menu included “roast beast” and decorated cakes. The highlight was the production of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, I’m sure that you can guess who played the Grinch!!!! It was a fun-filled evening!



Another busy week has passed…. Ron had an all-day interview with Jordan School District on Monday. There were over 100 applicants for 3 openings this coming school year. Ron did his best, but was not selected! Yes, he was disappointed, but this may be a blessing for us. He will continue to interview for intern administrative positions. Ron will have his final on Thursday and then enjoy a break from his college classes until the middle of January. He is enjoying being back on track and is teaching his kids Christmas songs on the recorder for their upcoming Christmas Sing-a-long.

Notice that the Grinch represents Utah and his dog Max represented BYU

Savanna finished her classes last week and will be faced with her finals this week. She has 3 finals on her birthday!!! Bummer!!! Next week at this time she will be done!!! During the Christmas Break she will learn which school she will be placed at for her student teaching. Social events continue to keep Savanna busy….a bridal shower for a former roommate, the Ward Christmas Party with Spencer, a get together with her friends from Jerusalem, etc…. She is going to see if she can work on Saturdays at the MTC, which would be an ideal job for her while she is student teaching. Savanna would also like to work at the MTC on Christmas Day during lunch. She enjoyed doing that last year!




Marie’s week has been non-stop too….Monday afternoon was the Lacrosse Christmas Party including a visit from Santa. Wednesday she was involved with the youth’s Sub for Santa Service Project. Thursday she went with Mark and his parents to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert. Friday she attended a Bingham Debate Tournament. Saturday morning she took the ACT and last night she attended the Sub for Santa Dance with Carl!!! That is why she is enjoying a nap this afternoon!!!


My week was filled with more ups and downs concerning my lung cancer. Friday Ron and I met with Dr. Harker and go the game plan. Yes, it is frightening to face the facts, but we remain calm and continue to feel the love and support of so many family and friends! Friday afternoon Ron’s family came over and gave us blessings. This was a wonderful experience! We feel strengthened through the power of priesthood blessings! Friday night I went with Ron to the Bingham vs. Jordan Centennial Basketball Game. High school basketball is filled with such emotion!!! During half-time the school honored former players and coaches; I really enjoyed seeing some of the former players that were there from the 1930’s!!! There have been many fun community events honoring the 100th birthday of Bingham High School! Saturday night Savanna, Spencer, and I cheered on the Grinch as he took part in the ward party! It was a fun night!

Thank you again for all your love, prayers, and support for our family during this trying time in our lives! It seems that trials force us to realize the blessings that we have and they also help us to focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

The Games Begin.....

Dec. 12, 2008

Game Plan…finally we have received the “game plan”.

I have been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer and will begin my first round of chemotherapy next Friday, Dec. 19th. It is a relief to finally know what I will be facing. Right now the plan is that I will go through 3 rounds of chemo with a treatment once every 3 weeks. After that the doctor will reevaluate how effective the chemo is and then I will start a weekly round of radiation that will concentrate on getting rid of the cancer in my lung. The doctor feels that I shouldn’t have any severe side effects except I will lose my hair. So I will be getting my hair cut short soon, then I will be sporting a fashionable wig!!! I’ve always wanted to have short hair, so now it will finally be my chance since Ron can’t object!

Next Monday I will have an MRI to make sure that there is no cancer in my brain and I will also have a port installed so that I won’t have to be “stuck” constantly with needles for my treatments. On Wednesday Ron and I will go to “Chemo Class” to learn the finer details about chemotherapy. Friday the game begins…my first round of chemo. This first treatment will last between 5-6 hours, after that the treatments will only be 3-4 hours. I plan on taking up either knitting or crocheting and of course I will use some of the time to read! I am looking forward to having less visits to the hospital, it seems that I have been there too much lately! My treatments will be taking place at the Utah Cancer Specialist Building that is just down the street from my school.

I continue to feel calm through this whole ordeal, I’m sure that this is a direct result of everyone’s thoughts and prayers. Thanks!!!!
Now l just need to decide on a cut, short haircut! I’m sure that my girls will be helpful!

Game Ball & Cranes

The football team, coaches, and Skyline teachers presented me with "the game ball" yesterday...it was wonderful to receive this football that was signed by all the Skyline football players and teachers! What a heartwarming gesture!!!

On Wednesday the Japanese class presented me with 101 origami paper cranes. They read a letter explaining the tradition of Sadako and the 1000 paper cranes. Japanese people commonly give paper cranes as a symbol of their affection and wishes for a long life and good fortune. These students were so generous with their time to make this beautiful artwork for me. Ron has hung this in our bedroom to remind me of their kind thoughts and wishes.

I truly feel the love and concern that people are sharing with me and my family

Scan Rides

I have finally arrived home after my ride in the CT and MRI Scanners....the ride in the CT was the best, it only lasted about 5 minutes, but when the "magic fluid" went through my system everything "warmed up". It was a bizarre sensation, I could feel the fluid going through my body, and when it hit my bladder there was a warm sensation, (luckily nothing leaked out!)

The MRI was loud and longer, it took about 25 minutes. I wore ear plugs since the magnets make a loud sound similar to the one that you hear when they do the "emergency alert" on TV. This was more comfortable than the PET scan since I was laying on my stomach. I laid on an apparatus where there was a cushioned frame for my head , and then my breasts were "suspended" through two opening....it was pretty comfortable. It didn't hurt as much to have my arms suspended over my head, but the noise was obnoxious.

Both technicians said that they got "good pictures", now I hope that Dr. Harker can get the results for my appointment with him tomorrow. Hearing the "game plan" will be frightening, but I am ready to get on with whatever needs to be done!

Thanks again for everyone's continued prayers, thoughts, and support!

First Results

Dr. Davis called this evening to let me know that it looks like the primary site of the cancer is my right lung! What a surprise!!! I will get more detailed results after the scans on Thursday and after meeting with Dr. Harker, the oncologist, on Friday. Thank you for your continued prayers for me and my family.

Love ya,
Jolene

First Presidency Devotional

Christmas Season

12-7-08

The Christmas Season is near, we will be going to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional in a few hours, so look for us!!!

Another week has passed and we still don’t know the primary source of the cancer. The surgery went well on Tuesday and I feel fine. I am thankful that all the tape is off! This week I will have a CT and MRI scan on Thursday, and then on Friday we will meet with Dr. Harker, the oncologist. Hopefully we will have an idea of what we are faced with.

We continue to feel calm and that all will go well. Thank you for the love and support that we have felt from everyone! It is amazing to be the object of so many loving prayers and thoughts! Our ward family is so supportive…meals, prayers, priesthood blessings, and thoughtful cards. What a great ward to get sick in! Thanks to everyone who joined us in fasting today! The best support that we have is all the prayers of faith that are said for me and my family!

Ron is celebrating the fact that he is done with all of his class work for this semester. He will return to teaching this week. Tomorrow he will be interviewing with Jordan District all day. Last week he had interviews with Granite District on Tuesday and Friday. Hopefully he will have the opportunity to be an administrator next year. He continues to enjoy his experiences at Bingham High School, even though he is going back on track he will continue to help with evening events at the high school.

Savanna returned to class work this past week. She is driving down to Provo on the days that she has classes. This will be her last week of classes and then the following week finals begin. The sad news is that she will have some finals on her birthday!!! Bummer! Savanna continues to feel better and is looking forward to getting her stitches out! Her social life continues… Friday she went out with Spencer, Saturday she went to Provo for an ugly sweater party with her Jerusalem friends, and today she joined her cousin Brian in attending a singles ward. Life is always fun when Savanna is around!

Marie remains busy too! This week besides school she enjoyed shopping with the YW for the sub for Santa families that the ward is sponsoring. Thursday evening she went caroling with the South Jordan Youth Council and then on Saturday morning the youth council helped out with a breakfast with Santa. She enjoyed playing in a winter league lacrosse game on Saturday. Next week she will be attending the Christmas Dance and taking the ACT!!! The busy life of a teenager!

My life is returning to a routine. I was able to return to school on Friday. Everyone was so thoughtful and supportive. I loved being serenaded by the Madrigals, their voices are so good!!! Savanna, Marie, and I also enjoyed attending the Relief Society Christmas Breakfast on Saturday. It was a delicious breakfast surrounded by the supportive sisters in the ward! I look forward to returning to school tomorrow! I continue to be grateful that I still feel fine, my neck is stiff but other than that I feel normal!

Thank you again for your continued love and support! We continue to feel the peace that is a result of your prayers for us!

Patience

Patience…no word yet in regard to the pathology report, hopefully we will get some results the beginning of next week. I am still grateful to be feeling fine (now that I am off the pain killers). The hardest part of the surgery has been removing the tape! Someone really needs to invent a tape that doesn’t hurt to remove!

I returned to school today and was surrounded by caring friends. One of the secretaries had put a sign on in my office that said, “Believe in Miracles”! During lunch some of my friends were talking about fasting and praying for me this weekend, by the end of lunch many said that they would fast and pray for me, many of these dear friends are not members of the church. It is so comforting to me to feel the support of my friends at work.

We have received meals from friends and ward members this past week, even the Elder’s quorum came by and delivered some chocolate chip cookies to us!

I know that many prayers are being said for me and my family. Thank you for your continued love and support.

Surgery Pictures

Freedom

This morning Ron took me to the doctors to have the drain tube removed!!! Yea, it wasn't uncomfortable just awkward to have a tube sticking out of my neck. I look forward to sleeping on my stomach tonight! We took pictures to remember this great event, so hopefully you don't have a weak stomach, but I do know that my brothers and sister will love them!!!

We are hoping to get the results from the pathologist by Thursday afternoon or Friday. I am feeling better, just weak and "spacey" from the surgery and medication.

Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers!!!

Round 1

Round #1

Everything went well with the surgery. I am home with “Nurse Ron” taking care of me. I feel weak and spacey as a result of the medication that I had today. Dr. Davis felt that the surgery went well and now we are hoping that the pathologist can determine the source of the cancer.

Ron will take me to Dr. Davis’s office tomorrow to have the drain tube removed. Marie seems fascinated with the plastic tube that is coming out of my neck. She says that I should do a commercial to encourage people not to smoke! Ron was given some plastic gloves to use when he dumps the liquid from the small bulb that is connected to the tube. We continue to learn new medical procedures.

Last night our friends Judy and Kevin Hague came to visit with us. Judy was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 years ago. She recovered and was doing well until 2 years ago when she learned that she had bone cancer and was only given 1 year to live. Needless to say this family believes in miracles. Her insight into dealing with cancer was very comforting for Ron and me. She shared some great insight and information with us. Kevin also shared with us insights that he has had as the “supportive husband” during this trying time. Their positive attitude and spiritual strength is such an example to us. Ron and I are so grateful for their willingness to share with us their thoughts and lessons that they have learned. Again, we are truly blessed to have so many supportive friends and family doing all they can for us and the girls!

Thank you for your prayers and support…we continue to feel peace during this trying time.

I now look forward to getting the tube out of my neck tomorrow and a good night’s sleep tonight!

Love ya!

Another Update

Update….bottom line I am learning patience!
Once again I am waiting. The results of the PET scan show that I have multiple cancerous lymph nodes on the left side of my neck. They are small, but the lumps run from the top of my chest to just above my collar bone. The problem remains that the doctors haven’t been able to locate the source of the cancer. There is a small spot in my right lung that showed up on the scan, but it is unusual to have something show up on the right side and then have the lumps in the lymph nodes on the left side. So tomorrow I will have the large lump removed and then it will be sent to the pathologist. Hopefully the results will help determine the primary source of the cancer.
The oncologist is scheduling additional scans for the beginning of next week, an MRI and a CT. These scans will concentrate on my chest area. There is the possibility that this still may be breast cancer.
I’m still feeling fine! I am grateful for that and all the support and prayers that are being said for me and my family. I will do my best to keep you updated..
Tomorrow’s surgery is scheduled for 6:30 A.M.
