TREATMENT HAS BEGUN

Hello all,

Sorry we didn't post yesterday. It was one of the busiest day so far. After the port surgery on Monday, Laura was very heavily drugged all through Tuesday. The began Chemotherapy on Tuesday at 12 noon. Radiation was scheduled for 3:30 but the doctors began asking us if we wanted to go through with it. Since her breathing has become so labored, Laura has began having horrible anxiety which comprimises her breathinga heart rate. The doctors thought that this treatment may set one off and being as heavily drugged as she was and how fagile her breathing was they thought it may be risky.

But still the decision was made to start radiation. The tumor i growing rapidly and we didn't want to wait another day. So from here out Chemo and radiation on Mondays. Radiation by itself Tuesday - Saturday.

As it is right now, she is very much not herself and visitors to the ICU are limited to family.

We'd really once again like to thank everyone for support, love, prayers, house cleaning, groceries, meals and everything else that has lightened the load just a little bit

    Dana, Thank you so much for creating and posting to the blog for Laura. I for one really appreciate the time and effort you've put into keeping us all up to date after long grueling hours at the hospital and at home.
    Please know Curtis and I are praying for all of you. I know what Laura is going thru right now; not me personnaly but my mom, so I'll say this if you can get her thru the radiation, I'm sure she'll begin feeling much better. Take Care and Thanks again.
