Day 102

I hope you all haven’t given up on me! Darn Blogger seems to be having some quality of service issues the last few weeks. Every time I go to get on it’s down. So I apologize for not writing earlier. I suppose I also wanted to leave things on a good note as well 🙂

Becca is doing well tonight. We checked her into the Huntsman for her next round of chemo. We had a series of doctor visits prior to her going in, but all seems to be well. We think we might have figured out why she was so sick last time so hopefully we can resolve it moving forward. She is sleeping well tonight, they give her lots of anti-nausea meds that make her sleepy. They are going to remove her PICC line on Friday and put in a Port. The port will go under her skin in her chest. This reduces the chance of infection, as well as reside in her body for a longer period of time. The bad news is she has been worrying about this all week. Becca doesn’t do well with needles, so as you can imagine, this whole thing has been a very big trial for her. We feel it will go just fine, but I do feel bad for her.

Please pray for her. She will be going through full body scans for our upcoming visit. We hope that the tumor is shrinking and that they will continue chemo so that we can return home for a while. Thank you all for your generosity, love, and prayers. Keep the faith.

Hey guys, be careful with the Port. Keep it extra clean and be very clean yourself when servicing it! Love you!

Hey guys, I miss you tons already! Thanks again for allowing me to visit, and to break a few rules and get Becca out of the house some. We had a blast, its almost like we were able to forget about the cancer for a day or two!! I only wish I could have stayed longer! Best wishes for the days ahead. I know the port seems scary, but just hang in there and remeber its just one more step closer to coming home! We love you bunches!!! ~Amber~

Hey Becca, you are in my thoughts & prayers daily (as well as Randy and boys, you are not left out!) My 1 year anniv. from my surgery and diagnosis was yesterday. I have one more CT scan, but feel I am cancer free now. It has been arduous, but I am there. You will be too. Yours is more difficult than mine, and my heart goes out to you and your family. But I KNOW you will get throgh this. Keep your positive attitude through the worst of times. Keep your hope. Focus on your goal. I love you, Susi

Becca,

I saw the pages you did on plastic canvus – way to go! You have finished 3 pages and they look great! I admire you for finding something to take your mind off the pain.

I know that you are struggling right now with the latest chemo and your intestines. Hang in there! We all love, respect, & admire you for the strength you show us. I am glad that you went to this round a little early so that you can enjoy Halloween with your children.

We love you!
