My life changed dramatically on Mother's Day 2013. Three days later I was diagnosed with cancer from my physician. This blog was made to keep my family and friends informed to what has been happening to me the past few weeks. When I find out news from different Doctor's through all of the procedures I have had, so many of you have wanted me to text, email, call, or someway contact you. It humbles me how many of you are concerned. Sometimes I forget to contact some of you. This way, you can stay in touch with what is happening now. Please feel free to comment. I hope I have it set up so you can. If not, I will ask Emily my daughter to help me, since she helped me get this set up.

Another year of Nexavar. Get better Vi.

I haven't written for quite awhile.  Not because I am a slacker.  Because, things are pretty much the same this past month.  A lot of palm and foot pain.  I am taking some medication now to help with those nerve endings. I am now taking it three times a day in hopes that it will help.

The company that makes my Nexavar, (my chemo tablets) called us.  Remember when I started a year ago being told I would be taking Nexavar, and how expensive it was.  Between $800-$900 a month!  That is an insult to charge people that to help them live longer. Anyway, we had to talk to the company to see if we could get the amount lowered, and they did.  Lowered it a ton!  Well, our time is expiring and we have to fill out all this paperwork again. They called us three days ago, and they almost tripled what we are paying now, but we are still grateful as it is a far cry from how much it could be.  It is hopefully prolonging my life and blessing me. I would like to believe it is.

I would like to tell my stepmom Vi, how much it means to me when she sends me cards, thoughts, pictures, and special poems in the mail to raise my spirits when I am down.  She has really shown love and kindness to me through my struggles.

Right now, she is in the hospital struggling with her own health.  I want her to know I am now praying for HER on my end.  Wishing for her to have a total recovery and be the Vi that I have known  for all these years. The same loving and kind person that she is. Hang in the Vi.  I truely care for you and want you to get to go home soon.

I want to tell about this wonderful book about a man who dies, and is able to tell about his experience on the other side.  I will try to put my thoughts about it soon.

Love my life. Love my family and neighbors and friends, and especially love my husband, Kim. Thank you to all of you following the path I am traveling.
