Relay For Life
What an amazing experience it was! I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for all the encouragement and hugs that night! Seeing all the luminaries with my name on them just brought me to tears. Thank you to every one of you that purchased one in my honor. Here are a few photos to share from relay last Friday night:
Thank you, Gay Cornell, for all you did to make it a wonderful night for many!
Last Friday I had my LAST chemo until the sct! Finally, a break! We head back to Houston on August 1st, so I will have the rest of the summer to enjoy! I will be asking everyone who would like to stay in contact with me during the 2 months we are in Houston to post your email address for me, or email me. I will still post updates on this blog while we are there. I know many of you read this blog for updates. It seems everytime I am out somewhere, I run into someone who tells me that they read it almost everyday. I just had no idea so many of you know of this site. (Quit hiding and post a hi--I want to know who all is lurking!)
Please also continue to keep my friend, Terri Hill, in you prayers! She is having a rough time. She was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor a few months ago. Prayers to you, Terri!!!!!
If you all have a free afternoon on Thursday, June 28th, from 4:30-5:00, stop by the College and see the play, "Curious George" that the summer theatre camp is putting on. (Raisa is Curious George and Larson is a brother who loses his ballon--it's his first play!)

Chemo brain must really be setting in--------it took me 9 tries to log in because I forgot my username and password hahaha!
All is still well here. I have my LAST chemo this Friday!! (Well, last one until the SCT). After 7 1/2 months, it is finally here! I am so glad it went so well. A year ago, I had no idea what "chemotherapy" even was. I have been blessed in that no one close to me had ever went through it. I am just so happy I made it through it (and with a smile on my face most days!). I have decided to celebrate the ending of chemo at Relay for Life this Friday. I had been going back and forth as to if I was emotionally ready for it or not. I didn't think I could be much inspiration to anyone yet. Maybe in 10 years I felt, then I will have a story to tell. But, as I have shared with all of you, my story began on that awful day in September when I came out of surgery and heard the words "It's cancer". I have pondered what it means to "survive" cancer. Then it hit me, I have already SURVIVED cancer in the fact that it will not steal from me my happiness and my hope. I will never live as if I "HAVE" cancer. It doesn't HAVE me.
I AM A SURVIVOR.

Monday, June 4th
Hi there! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far! Raisa has started her swim practices and will have her first meet Wednesday at the Country Club. Larson has started t-ball and will have his first game tonight--YA! They are having fun so far! Larson is also in Junior Golf at the Country Club. He is LOVING that! He is really a pretty good golfer for a 5 year old. They will have a tournament in a few weeks. I can't wait to watch that!
As for me, I have been just as busy as ever. Trying to slow it down a bit, but it's hard! We go back to Houston August 1st and will be there until about August 10-13. I have scans and surgery planned that week. Then, we will have to wait 4 weeks and then will begin the transplant. So, we are looking at the first to middle of September to begin now. As long as I am home for the holidays, that is fine with me. This Friday, I will begin my last 3 infusions of Abraxane. After that, I will have a shot to shut down my ovaries and will start on an oral chemo called Femera. I am still feeling great. I had my week off of chemo last week, so this week I am not even overly tired. Good thing, too much to do haha! You all take care!
