The Colon Club

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. A young woman has offered to be our nanny at very low cost, my Aunt's church along with a few members have offerered to pick up what costs she does charge. It is so amazing to us to not have to send Lilli to daycare 50hrs a week. She is a college student so we will need to find some childcare for herthe Nanny's school hours but this is is much better than regular daycare without very much one-on-one attention for 50-60 hrs a week. We just met yesterday, she is a young christian girl and she seems to be great with Lilliana, Lilli loves her "new friend" so far.

Not sure where I left off last so I might be repeating some info. Today is tx #8/10 on vertabrae C7-T10. Behind my left I had developed a small bump behind my left ear. They didn't think that my "bump or 6 mm brain lesion was too big of a deal compared to my vertabrae being compromixed, so they went ahead and started on what they thought was the worst, my spine and protecting my spinal cord. Over the weekend my 'Bump' has quadrupled in size and became pretty painful putting pressure on my ear drum. So this week we are jumping into some more radiation on my 'bump' and brain lesion. The bump will probably take 10 txs because they don't want to fry the ear drum, the brain lesion will only(fhopefully) only take one tx. Today I will have my head rad simulation and on Thursday I will have a Volumetrics MRI of my head to get the best possible pic of the two tumors ,this may change tx, hopefully not. Iemo brin am having symptoms of fogginess, forgetting and switching names and mild confusion. Not your usual chtching names or chemo brain prob, the most absolutely scary symptoms ever. Hopefully this next round of Whack-A-Mole will start on

Thanks for the update, Jess. I'm so glad you took the time to let us know how you're doing.

Your daycare arrangements sound great. You're a fantastic mother and I know Lilli is getting the best care possible.

Good luck with the tx.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to update us, Jess. We are all pulling for you. ((HUGS)).

wow
you are truly amazing and an inspiration,

Very good to hear about care for Lilli Jess. Sending more thoughts, prayers and swinging chickens for the latest round of whack a mole

Jess,

I think that is great you found a nanny, that will be good for both of you. Lillie will be able to interact with another adult and you will always be there by her side. Hang in there and be strong, you can do this, your a fighter. You will hopefully be able to enjoy and relax and focus on your treatments and the good times with Lilli with the help your community is rallying around you.

I have been thinking about you everyday and wondering how you were doing, my prayers are with you and your loved ones.

Jess, good to hear from you. I hope all works out well for Lilli and the new Nanny. It sounds like you have a good support system there. I hope the Whack-A-Mole is successful in ridding your body of those nasty cells and giving you relief from your pain. Take care of yourself and a gentle ((HUG)) to you.

Prayers to you and your family.
