Treatment #5

Hey guys! Well this week has been kinda crazy so I am a little behind...but still better than being a month behind! :) We had treatment on Tuesday and Mama is really down this time. They told us that the last couple of treatments would be the worst and they were right. Her bday is TOMORROW!!! Dont forget to call or post a message! We have Woman 2 Woman ladies meeting tomorrow morning at 10 am and we are going to have a party there then also next weekend my brothers will be in town and we will have yet another celebration. It's sad that it takes a crazy situation like this to teach us the important of every single year that we are blessed by having someone special in our lives. If you have any questions or want to come around for any parties just let me know and I will get information to you.

Here are a few things that are going on:

>Final CT results showed a SMALL cystic mass as well as some peretoneal disease, which
basically means there are some cells trying to implant.

>CA 125 is down to 23.4 which is within normal range now HOWEVER we still have to
continue with treatments to get everything out! They have even discussed the possibility
of us doing 12 months maintenance chemo with Taxol only.

>Sis Burris is coming in town today to speak at Woman 2 Woman tomorrow as well as church
on Sunday...she rocks so come out if you can!

>Saturday September 13 MARILYN'S BIRTHDAY!!!

>September 30 Next treatment ...OH they are NOT counting the one treatment of Taxotere
towards her 6 treatments so we have two more left with the Taxol/Carbo then another CT.

I think that about covers everything. If you have any questions just call and I will tell you what I know. Thanks again for everything...Please keep Mama in your prayers daily.

Focused Prayer:
>Strength for upcoming events
>Clean CT scan in 6 weeks
>JOY...the possibility of more treatments has been a punch in the gut for Mama
>Peace
>Also, this has nothing to do with Mama but lets pray for my Aunt Debra who recently had surgery on her feet...she has been in a great deal of pain


Thanks Again!
