"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!"

There's the latest update:


I've declined in the past couple of weeks, but am continuing the local IV's of vitamin treatments twice weekly.
In what appears to be the last ditch effort, I met with IN-HOUSE Hospice yesterday & they have a wonderful plan to lessen my pain & possibly get me out of bed until the end. I like them a lot. Once they can get a handle on this, I'll have a better idea on their success.
