Becca made it home yesterday from her week long chemo trip. All in all, she did really well. She only got sick one day and was able to walk out on her own. She now has 10 days off until her next treatment. I finally was able to look at the schedule and she is half way home! Becca has had 4 out of 8 cycles. Each cycle now is two weeks with one week off. It has been very motivating for her to know that she has made it this far.

As the holidays are approaching, it has been very emotional for her. It’s hard for her (and the rest of us) not to think that she is truly blessed to be able to spend this time with the family. To see another birthday, to attend another Thanksgiving dinner, and to spend Christmas together as a family brings life into her. Life is too precious and you never know what the Lord has in store. I heard a great quote the other day, ‘It’s not that Heavenly Father makes bad things happen to good people, He just allows it.’

I know that we are blessed. More than just surviving this experience, but that we have so many friends/family that are going through this with us. I know that we could not do this alone. Please spend just one more hour with your family. Take the time to remember Him who loves us and does have an Eternal plan for all of us.

Keep the faith and continue praying. We love you.

Becca made it safely back in the Huntsman yesterday to start her next chemo trip. This is a five day treatment and then she will have the next week off. She is feeling really good and taking it well.

To be honest, she is really wearing down with all the visits to the hospital. The thought of just spending a little time with the family has pushed her to not wanting to go in. However, Becca does understand that she needs to and wants to get better. It’s just really hard for all of us. Weeks are going by now, but given her time in the hospital the last few, it’s taken it’s toll on everyone.

The only thing we hold on to is the faith that He will heal her and will continue to bless us with patience and love. We continue to pray that the tumor will shrink and that our Father in Heaven will comfort us with His spirit. We have met some amazing people in the hospital here. She has been able to help other patients who have been recently diagnosed and try to help them and their family cope with the changes and what to expect. It really changes the focus and helps us see a bigger picture.

We love you all and want to thank you again for your continued prayers and gestures of hope.

Becca finally came home yesterday 🙂 Her levels didn’t drop as fast as we would like, but the good part is she is feeling really good. She will go back in on Friday for a full week of chemo (yuck!) but we are just moving along.

Please keep up the prayers, we love you all… more to come.

Things went really well today. For the first time, Becca was not sick or in pain while going through the chemo. Usually she is pretty sick and sleeps most of the next day and it didn’t happen this time. We feel really blessed and it was nice to spend some quality time with her. Hopefully she will be able to leave on Monday and spend a few more days with the family.

Keep the faith.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great day today. Becca was feeling really good and we had lots of family over to share the day. It really was a tender moment for all of us considering everything that is going on in our lives. It was good for moral for us all to take a second and forget about the cancer and just enjoy the time with our family. We are just so thankful that we are surrounded, both physically and spiritually by all those who love us. Thankful for life and the happiness of the gospel.

We had a birthday party following our Thanksgiving dinner for Michael and one of his cousins. He was so excited and thought the whole day was just for him… the joy of being 4. We take Becca back in tomorrow for her next treatment. While she isn’t real happy about it, we are thankful we got to share the holiday as a family.

I will try and get some pictures posted soon, but please know that we love and miss you all. I know that we are bonded together with love and hope. Please keep praying and do just one thing more this week with your family… that’s what’s important. We love you all!
