"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!"

Break Time


You'll NEVER believe it!
As we were headed out to Houston for that noon appointment on Friday, I zoomed into the bedroom to grab a pen.
In the dark, I didn't see the sleeping dog.
I tripped over the dog, breaking my arm.
We got to Houston, had our noon meeting, & went to the ER afterward.
INCREDIBLE!

Here's a picture from the orthopedists' office yesterday. I'm awfully glad that it didn't break completely through - look at the red circle! Still, this is why I'm heavily medicated & mobility limited.
