Getting Better

Things are getting better every day.  Becky is feeling stronger and having fewer side effects from the Taxol. We have received such a great deal of support, and people have been so thoughtful and concerned. We really appreciate it.  In early October, we started to have pink pumpkins show up on our porch.  Occasionally they would have a sweet message, or pink ribbon on them.  They were all different shades of pink.  We have no idea where they came from, but we are very thankful for the thoughtfulness of those that brought them.   I have attached some pictures below.

Becky really is doing better and can start to see the possibility of one day returning to a more "normal" life.  We did have a little bit of bad news, but it was not totally unexpected.  We found out that she is going to need radiation.  It will start around the first of the year and she will have daily treatments for 5-6 weeks.

Becky has made some new acquaintances through this experience, and also found others that she already knew that are going through a similar struggle.  It is like many things in life, when you look around at what some others are going through, some always have it better and some always have it worse.

Please don't be offended if we try to be a little more self-sufficient in the coming months.  Anyone that knows Becky knows that she is a very strong (willed) person. Haha. She really feels like the more that she does for herself and our family, the more that she can move past this and get on with her life.

Thanks again for all of your love, support and prayers.  They have definitely made a difference.
