Dear Cancer, you suck!: 3 down and 1 to go!

Hello everyone. I wanted to do a quick update on my 3^rd chemo treatment. It was on Tuesday November 25^th, 2 days before Thanksgiving. Treatment went well, Mom took me and Dallas and Julia came to hang out with us for the last half of the treatment and then we went out to lunch to Celebrate Dallas and Julia’s 9 year Anniversary.

Happy 9 year Anniversary Julia & Dallas <3

I was able to go to my parents’ house for Thanksgiving. I wasn’t feeling great, but I sucked it up and took a pain pill. I was so glad I was able to go and hang out with some family even though I couldn’t eat.

Happy Thanksgiving 2014

Friday after Thanksgiving was rough, I spent the entire day in bed sleeping and taking meds to get me through the pain. Saturday felt well again just tired and then on Sunday we went back to Mom’s for a do-over Thanksgiving for me, at my request Mom made my favorite ham and mashed potatoes. I had two helpings at lunch and the leftovers for dinner. It was perfect (Thank you Mommy). On Sunday Jon and I both were hit hard with a very nasty cold/cough/sore throat. It’s been a week now and we are both still very sick. This has to be the worst cold Jon and I have ever had. Praying the kids don’t catch it and that I am completely rid of it before my next (and final) treatment.

I wanted to ask for prayers for my dear family members who have just recently been diagnosed with cancer.

My Granddad Jimmy Gantt was recently diagnosed with an extremely rare Appendix cancer, he is in his 80’s and he is still deciding on a course of treatment, more surgery (he had his appendix removed recently which was how he found out he had the cancer) and/ or chemo etc.

My Aunt Jane Lee, who was just diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago, she had brain surgery last night to remove one of the three tumors from her brain, to diagnose the type and stage of cancer and to figure out a treatment plan. They were able to remove one of the tumors successfully and she is currently in ICU, yesterday was also her Birthday.
