"Here I am in the middle of a perfectly good fairy tale, & THIS happens! Right now, I'm perfectly healthy & happy. Well, "healthy" is apparently a matter of perspective! I've been informed that I have this blood-borne cancer in my body that'll kill me in 6 months if I don't do something drastic immediately. HUH??? Therefore, there's no choice other than"drastic"! Even with immediate action, there is no cure - only an extension of my life.

Feel free to tag along as I, & my husband, & some amazing friends commit to this journey. I'll share as much as I can! Yes, the medical team will have to make me very sick in order to suppress the cancer, but they'll also try to build up my immune system at the same time. We're in Texas, & there's an old sayin' in this part of the world: "Hold my beer, I'm goin' in!" Yeah, THAT applies. We have no idea what to expect, & I don't drink beer; but we're GOIN' IN!"

Well, shit... THIS explains it:

Well, this "trying to save my life" thing is overwhelming! We're hangin' tough, & ready to surrender to the pro's. But it's gettin' real!
This is a place of love, hope, healing; of bravery & determination; containing some of the smartest people on the planet.
Thank you ALL for standing with me!

Trust

Tomorrow, we leave for MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. They're the only ones who can save, or at least extend, my life. This all still baffles me!
I'll keep everyone updated as we learn about treatments & schedules.
