We are very happy to report that Becky is all finished with her chemotherapy. She did great, and is happy to have that behind her. A big thanks to all those that helped take care of our kids, and brought over meals, and just did tons of other helpful things to help us navigate this part of our journey.
She has been making some of the arrangements to start radiation the first part of January. She has been in for a couple of appointments, and she has had the targets tattooed on her skin. The plan is for 5-6 weeks of radiation. She will have to go 5 days a week, which is going to be challenging with all of the other activities or normal family life. We have heard that there are some side effects from radiation that are a little difficult to deal with, but hopefully it will be nothing like the chemo.
Christmas is always a special time of year, but the past few months, we have been especially aware of just how important it is to have quality family time and memories. We have learned many great lessons from this past year, but one of the most important is to not just coast through life and take things for granted.
Thanks again for all of your thoughtfulness and special acts of kindness. We truly have the greatest friends and family that anyone could ever ask for.
I have been overwhelmed by the love and support my family and I have received since we found out I have breast cancer. I want everyone to know of my sincere appreciation for the many prayers and messages of support, especially the fast in which so many were participating. My family is setting up this blog as a way to keep people updated on my progress. Thank you so much for your love.
Yea! You've reached a big milestone! Hang in there--you are in my prayers.
