WOOHOO! Congrats on the clear scans. Also, on the graduation to every 6 months. It is wonderful news. Also congratulations on the good grades.

We also still check on you often. I know John talks to your mom and we get updated on you.

As you saw, Brendan had his scans too and everything is all clear. We really like that word -- clear!

Take care, enjoy your break and have a very Merry Christmas!

Lots of love,

The Finneran family

Just checking in to see how everything is going. I will presume that no news is good news and that you are thoroughly enjoying your freshman year at college. Can you believe it is almost over? Wow, how time flies. Brendan is getting ready to head home tomorrow for Spring Break and scans.

I hope you have the best of summers and good luck at this weekend's fair.

Kristin:

Congratulations on your graduation!!! I can't wait to see the pictures. Sounds like you have your summer all planned out. You are right, you deserve a worry free college experience and we are praying that you will have that.

Brendan is in Massachusetts for the summer. He is hanging out, working, and visiting friends on the Cape. He is really enjoying himself. He will come home the end of July so he can get his scans and then he will head off to New York for college. It seems that you two are on the same path. Let's keep it an un-eventful path from now on!!

Hugs to you, and your family. We check on you all the time and are happy to see the update. Take care.

Hey,
sorry its been so long.
COngrats on the high school graduation. I know its one of those bitter sweet things but come on its pretty sweet that you are graduated.
I am also glad you got the all clear not to long ago, its for sure in the tope 5 good peices of news to get, along with things like you just won the lottery (not below that for sure though)
anyway i would be up for a golf game under a few stipulations
we get to rent a cart, we can share the drivng privleges. and once on the green for me two putts gets to count as one ahha
seriously all i can do is golf and that is not a gaurentee to be straight.
hope to see you around
God bless

Really great pictures Kristin and we're so happy for you about all the good news you received from your doctors. As you yourself say in your journal entry, God really has been good.

We, too, received some awesome news last week as Brendan got the all clear signal from his scans so he can rest easy for the next 3 months as well. Sounds like you two will be on the same "scanxiety" schedule for a while. Also, while he doesn't look anywhere near as pretty as you do ;-) we have some awesome pictures of Brendan playing in a lacrosse game last week. It was a game where the HS varsity played a team made up of the JV, the coaches and some alumni. Brendan played nearly the entire game and though he was pretty rusty, just being out on the field less than a year after surgery seems pretty miraculous to me. It was a lot of fun watching him guard his brother Ryan.
As soon as we can figure out how to download the darn pics we'll post them on Brendan's site.

Again, congrats on the spectacular news and the beautiful pics. All the best to you and your family.

And sings the tune without the words,

Hello Kristin,

I'm the father of a 16 y. old boy who's therapy for osteosarcoma ended last june. Everything has been allright so far. I recognise his high spirit in you and all the wonderfull entries about you in your guestbook.
We built a site for him in november 2005 and linked to your site and a couple of others just to show he's not the only one who's fighting the battle. Every now and then I check upon you and I'm very very glad you're doing well.
So from The Netherlands, some thousand miles or more east, we wish you all the best and good recovery! You are truly a wonderfull lady, stay well!!

Hey Kristin,

Still here thinking about you and hoping for an awesome outcome. To show you just how much I'm with you I came all the way to Chicago to get good and cold so I could share in the misery!!! Geez, I forgot what real winter could feel like and if the tv is to be believed the -10 here in Chicago is balmy compared to the temps you guys are experiencing in Minn. Heck, maybe the spot will get frostbite and go away on its own ;-)

Seriously, just another quick reminder that there is a whole army of people out there rooting you on. Remember, chin up, stay strong and big smile!

Kristin,

Hope you had a good weekend. I traded emails with your mom earlier in the week and it sounded like a typical busy one for you guys, lots of activities and running around.

Are you guys surviving the cold? I am heading out to Chicago tomorrow and I have been warned to be prepared for temps as low as 10 BELOW - yikes!! Get me back to Orange County quick, we start complaining when it gets below 50 out here.

I know it is a big week for you. The Finneran family has kicked it into overdrive on with the prayers. My mom - a cancer survivor - called the other day to tell me that she prays for you every day at mass. My Uncle Eddie (Monsignor McCorry, also a cancer survivor) is retired now but still says mass every day and helps at a parish on Sundays. He makes sure to keep you and Brendan included in his special intention prayers each day.

Kristin, you have been a model of bravery and determination to everyone who has followed your story over the years. Those personal powers coupled with the incredible power of prayer should give you all the hope you need. I know that the waiting is the hardest part but it will not be long now before you are out on the prom dance floor.

All the best this week and know that there are a whole bunch of Finnerans there with you in spirit!

Brendan's Dad

Hello-
My 9 year old daughter has Osteosarcoma in her femur and her lungs and I just wanted to tell you that we have admired your courage and we read your site when we are feeling down. We are sorry to hear you have to have more surgery but we will keep you in our prayers that this will be the last one you will have! She just began her journey- she is on round 4 of her chemo. We will think of you everyday and pray for your health. I hope it brings you some peace. You are not alone and you are an inspiration to my daughter. Take good care.
With our prayers-

Kristin!
Right away I read your new message and I too felt like this is so unfair...how can this be happening...it makes me angry! Your senior year should be all about where to go to college, planning your grad party, your last prom, and spending time with your friends who will drift away into new lives after high school. And here you are...fighting with all you have to stay healthy. I would imagine you are sooo sick and tired of it. Here's what I do know about you though, Kristin! You are a FIGHTER and you have such a POSITIVE ATTITUDE and you are NOT A QUITTER!!!!! You WILL give it everything you have to beat this "crap" called cancer. That faith I have that you can do it was taught to me from you and your site...I check it often and even if I don't write anything I am behind you all of the way. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you take this next step. Here is one more prayer for the spot being nothing!!!!!

I was mad for a second and then I realized that was a useless waste of my time. Pray was what I needed to do. You got many at that moment with many more to come. You're so strong and positive that you'll handle whatever comes your way with your enormous faith at your side. You also have the support of awesome family and friends. We'll be thinking of you and praying for you.

Hi Kristin,

Just saw the article on you in the Wabasha Hometown Health magazine. (I work in Mayo Health System Administration so we get copies of all the sites' Hometown Health to pass around the office). Very nice article and pictures! I think those are great magazines with lots of interesting stories and related info. I put a note on the article for everyone in the office to read that says you and Wes are friends and had the same cancer. I made a copy of the article for Wes and will send it to him. Hope you have a couple copies for your scrapbook etc. Congrats on getting accepted to UWRF. One of Wes's friends from church goes there and really likes it. Keep enjoying your Senior year. God Bless

Hi,
We were just checking up on you and realized you needed a prayer for a good scan. You got one right away and a second for good measure.
Zoey is in the hospital getting her chemo before transplant. She is well so far. One of us is staying at the hospital and the other is at the Ronald McDonald House because they only let one spend the night. We also will be up here for quite awhile after discharge to go to the clinic so Zoey will share the RMH room with us.
If you need a golfing partner I am sure Torey would go with you. She has golfed several times alone. Have an awesome senior year. God Bless.

I really like the ones were they got you all wet, its just a cool idea, but if i have to put in a vote for one of them i really liked s_16.
I leave for college while you are at camp. If i had a car i would drive out for a day or to for sure, and check you the jornada scene.

Hey Kristen,
You busy, theres no way haha. I hope things are going well don't wear your self out, remember part of the point of summer break is to relax because you don't get to do that durring the school year. Glad your senior pictures went well, those can be some what stressful. Also i really like how you just understand things, like the no pain just discomfort. Its nice knowing that some one gets these things. Did you ever have nerve damage, thats the part thats been getting me, that and the discomfort. i like to picture for the mayo magazine, i will make sure i get a copy. ALso i would really like to receive or at least view some of your senior photos when you get them. hope to see you before i go to school, and hope you are doing well

Hi there Kristin,
This is Trisha's mom and I just want to say thank you for signing her web site www.caringbridge.org/me/trisha. I am so glad to hear that things are going along so well and that things are busy, busy, busy for you. I just want to say you are a very beautiful girl, inside and out and You Go Girl! I'm sure that anything you decided to wear for those senior pictures you had taken last week turned out wonderful, you probably could of just worn a tee shirt and jeans and they would of been perfect! Hope all remains well and we will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers always, God Bless!

Hey Kristin,
My name is Gretchen Leyendecker; I'm Shawn's cousin. I've been helping out with his caring bridge website. I just wanted to let you know that he really appreciates you writing in his guestbook and loves to hear from you. I asked him today if he wanted to sign your guestbook and drop you a note, and he said he would like to wait until he meets you because it would mean so much more to him. But i just wanted to let you know how much it means to him when you take your time to drop him a note. He was telling all our relatives today at our 4th of July party how cool it was how people who are going through the same thing have dropped him some notes and how happy it makes him (and so much more positive). You have really touched his life by just taking that 5minutes out of your day to just say hi! It's good to see him smile like that. I will try to keep you updated and maybe next time he's in the hospital we can set up a time that you can maybe visit him. But thanks again for doing everything you have! God Bless, Gretchen

When I said that we would be offering up prayers for you and that we were hoping that you'd be out chasing boys around soon - well, it wasn't steer we had in mind??!!
What a great story. I'm sure it will grow even funnier over time.
Have a great 4th.

Kristin,
I'm not really sure how I ended up at your site but I'm sure glad I found it. My son Brendan was diagnosed with ostesarcoma in March. He went thru a 12 week regiment of chemo and then had limb salvage surgery last week. He starts back up on chemo next week and will be at it - on and off - until nearly Christmas.
Your fight, progress and success are a true cause for joy and a source of inspiration to Brendan and my family. Good luck to you. We have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

WOW, GREAT NEWS! I'm glad summer is here and I'm enjoying it cuz for the most part the weather has been great. A friend and I hit a deer at 3 a.m. a week ago, and I still have some bruises from the seat belt. Neither of us got hurt, but her car doesn't look well at all. Have a great summer. I'm sure your check-up in August will be a good one also. Tell your family "hello" from me. Love you all.

I don't know how you keep up with all of those activities. you never cease to amaze me with your schedual. I am really worried that i agreed to go golfing with you, i think the first time i golfed i shot in the upper 90s for 9 holes, so there will be no compatition for you, but i am still willing to play. I continue to pray for your scar tissue, and your health. let me know if there is anything specific you would like me to be praying for. Stay healthy and don't forget to take time to relax once and a while.

Our prayers are with you on your new spot. As for your question on the stem cells Zoey will use those for a bone marrow transplant. She needs them because the chemo was so strong that she has to have extra help for her body to recover. That is how I understand it. I have a few books on transplants if you need them. Take care and god bless.

Hey kristen,
I am glad you got some new clubs, they are always fun to have. My parents got my brother and i a set to share, but they got them while i was confinded to one foot, that didn't stop me from trying them out though. I remain impressed with the schedual you keep, i don't know how you can even keep it all straight and know where you are suppose to be and when. I have started my PT but now i have to stop for a week because i might have tendonitis or something i'll know more when i get to see Sim or one of his cronies. anyway glad things are going well for you, keep busy

Hey,
Wow just thinking about all the things you do in a week has got me worn out. all i need for a days worth of activity is to go up and down the stiars a few times. I can't wait to get back to "normal" (though i fear i may never have actually been there) it nice to be waited on i agree but some time when you want a sandwitch only you know just the right amount of peanut butter to put on it, and some times when every one else is asleep and you want something to eat while your watching tv and you want popcorn but you can't carry it up stairs by your self. I have actually started ccrawliing around so that i can carry thiings. I joke that the longer i go with out haveing a working leg and doing chemo thereapy the more i revert to child like tendencies, but it might not be a joke.
Any way i too have apreceated the snow days becaues it means my little brother is home. it apears that you have a little brother named jared too different spelling same name.
Anyway happy two years, its a mile stone nothing you would ever want to celabrate but, because of whats happened and how far you've come its worth celabrateing.
have a great week, try not to be tooo busy.
stay healthy
God bless

HI Kristin- I just read about your FUN weekend! I wish I could have been around Thursday and Friday to be in on the Zeb excitement at school. (Although the conference I was at was really good!) I did catch the announcement at school Friday night at the game though and was SO excited for Zeb. He has worked so hard to get to the final match. I guess we will just have to keep him pumped for next year....sounds like you guys already have plans for that! YOu go girl!

As for the Big Band Dance, you know we all want you to be with us, but we also want you to take care of yourself first! Don't push yourself and listen to your body. It will tell you what you should (or should not) be doing. I can't wait to see you in school tomorrow.
Take care...

Kristin,
I'm sorry you had a rough day yesterday. We are praying today will be better. We sure notice that there are up and down days but it's good to know the days do get better. We have met so many new people at our clinic. Zoey just fell in love with 18 year old Sara. She has a different type of cancer than Zoey but she too had a stem cell transplant. We got the information on what that might be like right from the source. I'm sure if Zoey were at your clinic she would be loving you too. Thanks for the birthday wishes. Take care and keep getting better.

hey,
it was great to meet you and hang out in you're room. I hope that you are out of the hospital and feeling better. I am really glad that you don't have to do any chemo for the spots. I am a little confused by it all though, how is that there is OGS on your lung i thought that only grew in your bones. I guess i figured if they found cancer in someones lungs that it would be lung cancer. any way hope you are doing well and hope to see you again some time.
God bless

Kristin,

We are glad surgery went well for you. We are still praying for that infection. Zoey got her chemo started at 4:30pm and she got sick at 3:30am but not bad. She fell right back asleep. Her medicine for her tummy was due at 4am so she just got it early and is sleeping comfortable now. Your right no food and staying in the hospital is no fun. It's to bad we weren't in the same place because Zoey could entertain you. She was dancing on her bed at 11pm because she had a late nap due to being at the clinic. Well we wish you good days until you're back home and then great day. God Bless you and your family.

hey sorry it took me close to month to write back i can be really bad at doing that at times. I am curiosu how your leg is doing can you put all your weight on it are you walking around and all that with out any aids? i know all surgeries are different but still curious.
they took 12.5 cm of my right femur right above the knee i was able to keep my knee joint which is nice because hopefully my leg will work like a normal one when i am all healed up. I am almost done with my chemo just four more doses or about 7 weeks left. hope things are going well for you

Hope all continues to go well. I found your site through Kristin Rose. My daughter Trisha (12) had osteosarcoma in her femur, went through chemo and leg reconstruction. Was in remission from Feb-Nov. They have now found in femur bone left just above the knee. They've schedules amputation for Jan 6th. Am looking for others to give Trish encouragement. She does have MSN. If interested, please let me know. Thanks and good health to you.

Hey there Kristen,

I'm really pleased to hear that your trip went well. My name is Joy and I was one of your wish grantors. I haven't watch many races. I don't get it. They keep going around in circles. But I did watch the race that you were at - just in case you were on tv. It is so cool that you were able to meet Jamie. Did you get many autographs?

It sounds like you were very busy. I hope your mom didn't get sick on the plane. I would imagine that your dad and brothers had a good time also.

It was a pleasure to meet you and your family. You have a great family.

I hope you had a Happy Birthday. I look forward to getting more updates. Oh yeah, have a great turkey day.

Thanks for the compliment!
If that is the way you see me, just know that its because I love my job and love what I have been blessed to do. The most rewarding part of my job is without question, meeting wish kids like you!

You will go down in history, because you were Jamie's first offical Make-A-Wish kid! Not the last, I am sure!

I hope you have the best birthday ever! I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Keep in touch!

Hi there from Toronto! I linked to your site from Kristina's--her mum joined my PED-ONC-SURVIVORS email list (whew!), and:
1) your Make A Wish trip sounds totally amazing
2) congrats on fighting the C-thing so successfully
3) you are a very pretty girl
4) I read that you would be very angry to not receive guestbook entries, so here you are! I know how frustrating that is--my son's CB site gets hits, but not too many messages. Plus, I gave you a bunch of hugs too.
Keep up the great work--livestrong--

I don't think I got to meet you at camp, but I found your web page and saw your pictures and a familier face was looking at me... You probably saw me around a lot... I was the one painting with Paulette all the time... if that helps. Good to hear you're doing well! If you like getting email, I love to make new friends and keep in touch... so email me sometime =). Hopefully I'll get to meet you next year... camp is way too short. You never get to meet half of the awesome people at camp... there's just too many in such a short week! But anyways, good to hear you're doing good. Maybe I'll hear from you later...

Hi there Krisin, my name is Cathy and you signed my daughter Trisha's web page back in June. I just wanted to thank you for all the encouraging words. Trisha is going to be going in for her 11th chemo treatment in a little over a week. I just wanted to say how much I loved reading your journal entries here lately, I think it's the first I've gotten on your page, can't remember. I love the way you write and you are so full of joy, you make me laugh, keep up the good work. It sounds like you had a great time at camp, a lot to do. I hope Trisha gets to experience something like that, no one has ever mentioned any camp, but I read about them on different web sites. Glad all is going well, keep it up and always stay strong as you are. You are so inspiring, have fun on your Make A Wish trip. ENJOY, you definitely deserve it!!!

Kristin,

Hi! I'm Luke and Elizabeth Carlson's mom. I wish we would have met you when we were going through treatment for Luke's OGS, October, 2004 - June, 2005. I'm just glad my kids met you at Camp Jornada! They really enjoyed it there, like you seemed to from your journal entries. I read all the entries, by the way, on your website. The day you got word you were in remission, December 22, 2004, Luke was in surgery for his limb salvage. You have had so many similar experiences as our Luke, and put it in "kid ease". I appreciated your honesty. I loved the reference you made to being stronger through the experience with cancer. You said, "Although cancer stinks (I changed the word there), I don't think that I would want to take it back, because my family, friends, and I have all become SO much stronger because of it! What doesn't dill me only makes me stronger!
God brought me to it, He saw me through it!

I'm so glad you've made it through and are doing so well. We'll continue to pray your check-ups give you a good report. Enjoy your "Make a Wish" NASCAR trip. About the same time you're on your trip in October, we'll be in Orlando, FL, for Luke's "Wish" trip.

Take care and God bless you lots!

Anyone can stand by you when you are right, but a Friend will stand by you even when you are wrong...
A simple friend identifies himself when he calls. A real friend doesn't have to.
A simple friend opens a conversation with a full news bulletin on his life.
A real friend says, "What's new with you?"
A simple friend thinks the problems you whine about are recent.
A real friend says, "You've been whining about the same thing for 14 years. Get off your duff and do something about it."
A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.
A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.
A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you!

Lou, you mean the world to me and nothing's going to change that..You've always been a REAL friend..and I would hope you would know that..but if you forgot..I thought I'd remind you....
love you always

Hi Kristin, my name is Derk Rodger, and my daughter Trisha had the same thing you did. She was 11 when they found it in April 2004, in her left knee, and leg. She is now 12, and has been cancer free for 4 months now. She fell down the stairs in May, Broke her bad leg by the ankle, and her right arm, so has been in the wheel chair. Should be up and walking soon. Spending alot of time in the pool. We are from Westfield wisconsin, and live on a farm, about 3 hours from you, down by the Dells. Hope everything is going great for you. Live Strong.

Hi Kristin_
Thanks for going to Liz's site. She is in Colorado right now having a great time. She has 8 chemos left. Not a great way to spend the summer. It sounds like you are doing great. We have something in common...I grew-up in the lovely state of Wisconsin. I lived in a town near the Milwaukee area called Mukwonago. Liz's grandparents still live there and her aunt and uncle live in Madison. So we travel to Wisconsin a lot. You have a great summer sweetie. Liz will have to write you when she gets back. She goes in for chemo. next Thursday. Be strong and smile!

Hey Kristin.
Was to Mayo yesterday, and then over to Methodist Hospital where the Doctor and I and a couple of nurses discussed you while the doctor was doing a procedure with the aid of x-ray where he was sticking a needle into my groin, using the x-ray thingie to guide his way. Evidentally where he was going didn't have good road signs, cause he poked and poked and poked. But with your help we made it through.

Keep up the great attitude, you are helping all of us. Showing us how to postive and live strong.

Love you.

Hi Kristin! the pics are great, but you need to figure out how to downsize them...or did you do that on purpose? Did you tell the boys to show you their teeth...too funny!!! Not too much new my way at all. Jeff is busy on the farm chopping hay. We've been riding the motorcycle whenever we get the chance. Other than that, pretty boring. Oh yea, I want to buy a baby pool so I can cool off in the summer. If only to soak my footsies!! Jeff wondered if a couple of pails would do???? Very funny! I might want to actually sit in it too ya know!!! Can you see me and my girlfriends sitting in lawnchairs around this baby pool with our feet sitting in the water!!! ha ha...then we could splash and stay cool. Gotta go for now..Love you, Aunt Sharl

Kristin,
Sounds like you are enjoying summer! I definitely agree with you on this summer is much better than how we all spent last summer!
So, now you are the taxi for your brothers! Do you make them sit in the back and listen to 'your' music?
Make lots of memories this summer!

Hello Kristin and family,
After what you've been through, you need to enjoy the summer and enjoy life to the fullest. Thanks Mom for the post - looking in the mirror describes it well. I find it interesting that the protocol is the same in Canada and the U.S. It sure is time to find new drugs that are not so hard with the side effects and are just as tough if not more tougher in killing the cancer cells.
Ashley is still in School and has exams next week. School finishes at the end of June and starts in the second week of Sept. She has been enjoying the wonderful warm weather and is doing quite a bit of swimming at her aunt's house.
May you continue to do well and we're keeping you in our prayers.

It's "Tommy Boy" baby and I LOVE that movie too!
Glad to hear all is going well. I thought you looked a little down on the last day of school so I was worried about you, but now I feel a lot better after reading your journal. I thought Valley Fair was fun too and I also skipped the big rides. I had more fun watching Kayde ride on the "Mild Thing" 4 times in a row. The Tilt-A-Whirl almost took me out so that's as "wild" as I go. I was walking sideways for an hour after that ride. Glad you had a good time...
I'm sure I'll see you around this summer at little league!
Take care and keep smiling!!

Kristin - You look beautiful in your prom dress as did all your friends. I am so glad to hear that you are doing great and that softball is going good for you. Congratulations on getting your license. You asked for a tip last time on how to make your pictures smaller - incase nobody answered, decrease the size of the pictures using a photo editor. Keep them in the 350-450 range works best. I am so glad that things are going well for you - Livestrong and enjoy life. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Now...I'll say Congrats on the driver's license too...because I know that is such a big deal in a young persons life. But, could you warn us if you decide to take a road trip north? LOL just kidding!
So do you and Heidi have big plans for the summer? I'm sure you will find things to keep you busy and make the most of everyday!

Sounds like you enjoyed your night at prom. Yes, I'm one of those people that visits but doesn't sign often. I try to tell you in person that I look at your website. Going to take a shot at guessing what the movie trivia is about. Kate Hudson, "How to lose 200 pounds in less than 2 weeks?" There I took a try at it. I know that I'm close.......just can't put my thumb on it. Give me another 10 days. I may just get it

Looking forward to seeing pictures of prom on here!

Hello, It is just beautiful outside today! That sunless tan sounds like fun...did your Mom get one too? It seems like you will have a busy week this week also, with confirmation and prom...have a blast and be sure to put new pics in for us that won't see you all dressed up like cinderella....oh yea and I think it was Clint Eastwood who said that quote. Have a good rest of the week and I will try to come and see you at confirmation! Love you, Aunt Sharl

She is finishing her freshman yr and is loving life, we wanted to drop you a line to let you know that you sound (and look)like a wonderful person, we wish you the best of luck in life. Visit the site and sign her book, maybe you both can become email buds.

Hi there Kristin!

Funny, we struggled through this last year and felt like we were some of the only ones, but you were struggling right along with us and we never even knew. My son started his osteo protocol only 1 week after you. We just finished in Dec. 2004. I'm glad to hear that everything is going well right now. Hope you have a great time at Prom!!! Love the dress.

Love,

I'll have to try and make your confirmation in Ind. since I AM your godmother. I have a picture of you and me for your first communion, so I will need one for your confirmation also! I might have to take a drive over to Alma one of these weekends and catch up on all the news. Take care, love you, Aunt Sharl.

Heck yeah...like Cinderella! VERY PRETTY. I hope that you have a great time. I have asked your mom, but I will ask you too. Does your family ever go to Florida? We would be happy to be an over night Atlanta stop over for you on your trip. We live about 8 miles off I-75 just outside of Atlanta. I went to Las Vegas last year for the first time. It was like Disney for adults on steriods. Not really my thing either, but I am glad I did it once.

Great update this week! So glad to hear you are doing well.
Wanted to stop by and Wish you a Happy Easter! Sounds like you will be enjoying a trip to KY with family! Congrats on the Forsenics, too! Caitlin is a Policy Debater for her school and did very well last year. She missed the competitions this year due to chemo though. You are such a driven girl with all your activities! Love that 'get it done' attitude!
PS. Did mom and dad share their windfall with you?

Hi Kristen,
I just wanted to say "keep up the good fight". I was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma way back in 1967! My prognosis was not good, but I had my right leg amputated...chemo, radiation and other treatments....also had three operations to get rid of the mets to the lungs. BUT here I am at 50 yrs old! I am a tough old bird but to beat cancer, you have to be. I wish you a long healthly life!

Glad to hear another positive story. My (now 12)daughter Trisha was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at UW Hospital in April 2004. Thank God it remained in her leg. She had the femur bone replaced last July and the wound has finally just healed. Her chemo ended beginning of Feb. and by end of Feb. post chemo testing said she was clean. We go next week for surgery to remove stitches, her central line and damage the growth plate in her opposite leg to stop growth. She too must learn new hobbies, which will be very hard (Sportsey girl) We wish you continued good health.

Thanks soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for the bracelet! I really appreciate it! I wanted one for a long time and could never find any for sale (everyone was out of stock). Lot's of kids at school noticed that I had one (though others already had them)...they told me that
they thought that was really nice of you! Now they all are going to try to get one too(if they can find any for sale that is:). It was great to get to meet you when you guys came to Rochester...I really enjoyed it! I hope we get to hang out again sometime soon! Thanks again...

Hey Kristin, I am so glad to hear the upbeat tone in your journal. I think it inspires other people also. I would also like one of your "livestrong" bracelets. I think I mentioned it to you and your Mom a while back. Please let me know, thanks. Your dress sounds beautiful and you will have to be sure to put a picture on your website. You should write to Josh on his website also. His mom and dad read it to him everyday and I think it boosts his spirit! He is amazed by all the people who write him! And check out his pics also!

Hi Kristin,
I am so glad that you are doing great. You are a beautiful girl and it was wonderful to see your picture. I love pictures and I plan on printing this out and showing my family. My mother is a sister in law to your great granddad, James Guy Rhodes. He was my Uncle, a brother to my dad. Hope I got that right. I got interested in the family tree some years back and it is always nice to meet relatives. I live in Florida but make a good many trips to Kentucky. I was planning on seeing Aunt Amy but didn't make it. My daughter, Becky lives in Indiana across the river from Kentucky. It's not far from where Aunt Amy is now. Becky (my daughter) works as a medical assistant for ENT's in New Albany, Indiana. They moved from Florida about 3 years ago and now have horses, ducks, chickens, dogs, a rabbit & cats all on four acres! I think they overdo it but my two granddaughters (Tiffany (l6) & Elizabeth (14)) seem to really enjoy the horses. We were up for Christmas and was there for a big snow which we enjoyed because it was deep and warm before it all melted. My son, Marvin & his family came for Christmas too so the two kids (Ryan (5yrs), Lily (2yrs) got to see snow for the first time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, a cousin, Catherine Rhodes-Almon

Hi Kristin. Way to go on finishing this journey in your life. Thanks for stopping by Kristina's website. Your words of encouragement were very special. She said she would leave you a note later. So, what kind of protocol were you on? Kristina is on doxorubicin, and back to back methotrexates. She has unfortunately had many delays which is probably why she is finishing so much later. She should be done in March. I was reading your entries but didn't know what you chose for your make a wish. Kristina and our whole family are taking the Disney cruise. We are very excited but have to wait til May to do that. She wants a little hair before going. Thanks again for stopping by and feel free to email us whenever you have time.

Hey Lou...
Well, this may very well be my last entry in your guestbook, and I'm very excited! You are almost done and time has flown by. I know it was a very long hard road for you, but you are the strongest person I know and have fought harder than most people ever could. Congratulations on everything you've done and I can't wait until things are back to normal for us...permanently. Love you and then some...

Hey there Louie!!
It was great seeing you at the game on Friday night! I'm so excited that they won! It's too bad that you have to miss all of this week for school, but maybe I can try to make it up there and visit you. Friday night is another big game, and just think, if they keep winning, we're talking playoffs! That would be pretty fun to go watch..so keep your head up and know that we'll all be here for you if you need anything..love you to death!

It's been a long time since I've seen my catcher, and now she's grown up so very much. From a tiny girl swimming in the catcher's gear to a strong young woman with her whole life ahead of her. Nobody ever said the road was going to be easy, but it's all the bumps and turns along the way that make you into the person you are. You're a wonderful person, Kristin, and you have the respect, admiration, and prayers from people all over the country. Get well soon and God bless.

Hi Kristen, I cannot believe that the last time I wrote to you I was closing down my room. Well, today I am opening it and cleaning everything and getting ready for the new year. The summer sure went quickly, it was fun and I enjoyed every single day of it. I will be going in to see my oncologist on Sept. 7 for a six month check up. I am always nervous and scared before those check ups. I am glad to hear that you are doing so well. I think of you often and wonder how things are going for you. You are certainly a brave young lady with an awesome attitude. I know attitude is the key to coping and you cerainly have a wonderful one. Everyone should learn from you!!!

Your friend,

Hey Lou!!! I'm in Drivers Ed. and it isn't exactly fun and educational..but oh well. Wish you could be here. I hope you're feeling better today, and maybe I'll call you this afternoon to check in. Did you watch the race yesterday? I think Jamie is turning into a pretty good roadracer..and I'll have to talk to Mitch about Kasey Kahne again sometime. Eventually we've got to convince him that McMurray is way better! This weekend is Daytona, so I'm excited..hopefully by then you can have surgery over with and be on the road to full recovery! It's all downhill after that. Well I hope I can come and visit you before you go back. I hope the movies are keeping you company..Hot Chick always brings a smile to my face..take it easy and I luv ya..

Hey Kristin~So you're starting to walk a little bit then, huh? That's good, though, because I bet you're getting sick of sitting around all the time. I would be! I hope you're feeling okay, even though you said you've got a fever. Hopefully everything goes alright from here on and you came come home ASAP. I'm sure it'd be a lot more comfortable for you. We have to go to some ball games at the beach together this summer, so rest up, and maybe we can even make it to a few of the highschool games too. They're pretty fun to watch. Feel better and try not to get too bored, I'll see you soon. Luv ya..

Hi Kristin, I just thought I would check on your web to see how you were doing. I am happy to hear that surgery went well. I saw you at Meghyn Steinke's graduation. I was sitting with my sister Donna and you were leaving. I often check with her to see how you are doing. You are a very pretty young girl and I will pray for you. The power of prayer is wonderful, I know that. Our school is almost over, we have one more week to go. I have to come back on the 14th to clean my room and pack up for the summer. But, summer school starts on the 15th so I guess there will be no rest. The summer will go fast! Do you ever get to Donna's to see her little horses? They are really something. I am very interested in knowing more about your cancer. I do not know if you remember but I had breast cancer and went through chemo too. The one good thing about losing all my hair was that it was easier to get ready for school. I only had to shower, dry my head, and get dressed. Now, I am late if I don't move it in the morning. Take care and have a good weekend. I would love to hear from you. Kay Logghe

I was wondering how surgery went for you yesterday so I thought I should check out your website. Sounds like it went very well and quick too from reading your recent update! Hooray! To read of you kidding around with getting a partial knee replacement at your age tells me that you're keeping up your positive attitude kiddo. Your such a trooper!

One more week left of school, and then I can be there for you more often. I don't think I've been playing the role of your friend as well as I should be, so I'll try to make up for it.

Hey Miss Kristin: I'm hoping all went well today, and that your counts were appropriate for your release. Even though it's not a sunshiny day, I imagine it still feels good to be free! Hope to see you at the Graduation tonight. Won't be all that long and you'll be an actual participant rather than an on-looker. Time flies! Our thoughts and prayers will be with you (as always), but especially on Monday. That's my birthday, and it just has to be good news, cause a year from now when I hope (God willing) to be celebrating yet another birthday, I want you to be celebrating a return to a happy, healthy life! Our thoughts to you and your family! May God bless you and keep you safe.

I'm so glad you're home. I kept checking your web site and didn't see anything for such a long time. I was getting worried. Then your mom updated everyone and I bet the entire town let out a sigh of relief. There's just nothing like getting back in to your own bed (or onto your own couch). I want you to know that you are always welcome to play with the band. You are such a great player and we all miss you so much and want you to know that you will always be a part of our group. So, if you are feeling up to it, please feel free to play along with us anytime. We want you to know how valuable you are to us and that we all miss you. Please take care of yourself and get stronger so we can all see you soon!
Love, D-R and the band

Hey Lou!!! It was great getting to visit you this weekend, even though we caught you by surprise. I was really excited today when Mitch told me you are coming home now, that's great! I can't wait to visit you again so I can keep you up to date with all the wonderfully exciting things that are going on in the vicinty of Alma, lol. Right now I'm in history class and just getting ready for some softball practice. We have a home game tomorrow you know, and if you feel ok you should come. Things just haven't been the same without you as our honorary book keeper and I mean it! We're almost done, so the sooner you can come back, the better. I miss you a ton..keep smiling and hold that head up. Maybe this weekend we'll have to watch the race together again or something, I guess we'll see, b/c it couldn't be anymore boring than at California the other week. See you soon, you know how much I luv ya..

Good morning Kristin...I imagine you are getting ready to come home. Good for you! I think Mitch missed you a little bit (he was actually kinda quiet here at school last week). The play was really fun to watch. Your mom video-taped it so I hope you got a chance to see it. I have enjoyed reading all the guestbook notes of encouragement to you and your updates. Your pictures are wonderful! You looked so pretty at prom. I have a great picture of you and some of your friends. Take care of yourself. I'm sending hugs, prayers, and love your way!

I am soooo relieved to hear you're doing better - your mom said you had a good day today - and that was the best news I heard in a while!! I'm glad you get to go home tomorrow, I'm sure you are too. It was nice to talk to you on the phone Friday. I said extra prayers for you and I know a lot of other people did too. I know it was rough and scary - I was scared too, but you came through like a champ - so did your mom and dad too! So keep up the good attitude and keep up fighting this thing - you are doing wonderful! I'm glad you're gaining weight too, that should help you feel better too. I would have won the competition with the cheese - YUM!!!! Lindsay said to send you her love and that she loves your prom pictures!! Well gotta go - talk to you soon.
Love ya!

I was hoping to see you at the elementary play last night. Your grandfather spoke with Holly Brakke and mentioned that you're in the hospital. You have many people praying for your well being! You will encounter many ups and downs during your treatments, but please keep your chin up kiddo! No matter how difficult it may be, keep hoping for the best outcome. Everyone misses you in our community, whether it be at school, sporting events, church, and your family at home! Your appetite will get better!

I cannot believe how grown up and absolutely beautiful you looked for prom!!! WOW!! You have your mother's face and especially her eyes - it took me back to when she was getting ready for a dance (she was very very sick one time, ask her about it - it's kind of a funny story). You just looked so radiant, and yes I said 'radiant'. Just absolutely wonderful!!! I'm sooo glad you had a good time, and Tony looks nice, as well as the rest of your friends. I want a picture. That dress looks like it was made just for you - your flowers matched perfectly - and even your nails were beautiful - I notice everything!! LOL!! Whoever did your makeup and hair did an awesome job as well (of course I think your beautiful anyways, but I'm a little biased - :) ). Get some rest and keep eating and drinking water (nag, nag, nag) - and stay positive. You're always in my prayers as well as the rest of your family. Give my love to everyone.
Love ya!!

Hi Kristin, I am Donna Herold's sister from Glenwood City, Wis. Donna told me about you and sent me your web sight. I just want to wish you the best of luck with your battle. I am a survivor myself as I had breast cancer in 2000. I went through chemo too. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. I kept on teaching and coaching so I had contact with the kids and they made my life exciting and helped me cope with what I was going through. I teach 6th grade and coach the high school cheerleaders. I do not know what I would have done without their support and my families. I would love to hear from you and hear about your cancer. But only if you want to share your story with me. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts and good luck. Love, Kay Logghe

Kristin, hope all is going well with treatment this time and you can get to your prom. Lindsay's most fun prom so far was her freshman year. She is a junior this year and on court so hope she has fun also. Does you school do a post prom party or lock in?
Tell your mom "hello". Your mom and I hung out together when we were your age and your pictures look so much like her. Your a beautiful girl!! Take care and can't wait to see pictures of prom.

Hey Lou~ we have a game tomorrow!! Well, ok, I'm not that excited, and I know it's because I'm still not used to not having you right there next to me warming that bench..those were the good times! Well the gym is starting to get decorated for prom and I can just tell that it's going to be tons of fun! I know you'll pull through this week so you can enjoy it. It's great that you have Tony to take you, too. So this week while you're in the hospital I expect you to be thinking about every last detail for the weekend, and have it all planned by Saturday. Until then, just hang in there and keep smiling, because you'll some practice for Saturday when Mary gets you all made up and even prettier than normal, when everybody wants pictures. Love ya!

Kristin,

I just heard about your website and I think it's great that you can keep in contact with all of your family and friends and the community. I know you probably don't know me, but I remember always seeing you in the elementary and then the junior high hallways- always with a big smile. (Keep on smiling!) I was at the softball game tonight and you looked great and the hair cut looks wonderful. Be a strong girl, you'll come through this a better person than most are. I just want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

:) Erin

PS- have fun at prom! It's always a blast to be able to dress up and feel like a queen!

Hi, Kristin! I just learned of your site and am excited to learn more about you!! I know of you and your parents but we have not met personally. I have been thinking about you. My Dad, Spencer Axness, had cancer. When it was discovered, it was too late to undergo treatments. We had to just watch him suffer it out until the end, which was March 20, 2003. My heart goes out to you and your family. You appear to be a fighter and a winner!! Alot of people care for you. Accept every ounce of love from other to help you through. Keep a good attitude and know that you are not in control...GOD is!! I look forward to checking this site for updates on you! Someday our paths will cross so I can introduce myself and give you a HUG!! Until then, my prayers are with you and your family. KEEP THE FAITH! Peace and Love... Sincerely, Jane Heller

I tried to call you all on Easter - I didn't realize you were still in the hospital. I'm glad you had a good Easter though - we didn't do a whole lot. It was nice though. We sent your's and your mom's journals on Friday, send me a quick e-mail whenever you get them. I think you'll get them probably on Wednesday or Thursday. I hope you like it.

You did a great job on the jazz concert! It went way too fast though. I know you're starting your treatment again and you may feel "icky" for a while, but just remember how good you felt before you went in, and that's how you'll feel real soon. We all love you here are are sending our support to you and your family. I wish you and your family a wonderful Easter. You have reminded us all how to appreciate what we have and to think of the good things in life. God Bless You!

kristin,
Don't worry about the wig - I'm sure it looks great! It probably does take awhile to get use to it though. You always feel like people know it's a wig - but famous people wear them all the time! Dolly Pardon wears them all the time and I love her hair (wig)! So try not to stress over it - easier said than done I know, but you have a lot of support - so wear it as if it's your real hair!!! :) Hang in there sweetie! Talk to you soon!

You and your family sound like you've done a lot of nice things this week. I bet your dad's hamburgers were awesome - I love them on the grill too - nothing better! Okay sweetie, going to bed now - I'll be in touch as always! Of course I'm saying a prayer for you again tonight (as usual) :). Give your mom and dad and the boys my love.

Hey, that picture got me to thinking - there's a lot of people checking out this site, perhaps we could get Dale a woman out of the deal. Do you think we should advertise that he's single and available?? Hope the thought makes you smile too!

Kristin, Glad to here things are going better. You know how school goes - sometimes I see you and sometimes I don't. Getting out of the hospital and seeing sunshine will perk you up in no time. Coach Heidi and I were to a VB conference this weekend. It was educational and FUN. Hey that haircut of yours is pretty awesome - makes you look more mature. I don't know if that's good or bad (but I didn't say old!) Remember as parents we don't want you to grow up too fast - heck Jenny is still my little girl. Well I better get going - I see Jed was checking your site out. He's always asking about you when he calls. He enjoyed coaching you last year. Take care, be tough. The BFS quote for today was American Proverb - "Adversitiy is the stuff that shows whether You are what you thought you were." I know you're made of the tough stuff and so do you. Love, Mrs. K

Hi Kristen!
I'm not quite sure you'll know who you are but if you ask your parents or any of your "Schamaun" Aunts and Uncles they can explain to you who we are.....especially that Brucie Bozo and Mikey Bozo! I work with your Aunt Nancy and Jenny goes to daycare with our youngest daughter Hayley. Our oldest daughter Janna is currently in 8th grade at C-FC and you have probably seen her at volleyball and basketball games. We just wanted to let you know that we're thinking of you and keeping you AND your family in our thoughts and prayers. I'm sure you're hearing this a lot, but if there's EVER anything that you or your parents or brothers need CALL US. We know how important it is to have the support of family and friends at this time! Take care Kristen and stay strong!

Hey Miss Kristin: We were really sad to hear about the disturbance you are experiencing in the middle of your "best years." Funny how we old folks refer to the teen years as the "best years," but not until after we've all survived them! As unfortunate as it is to have something as lousy as this, we really appreciate your taking time to set up and update your web site and keep us informed on how you're doing. You are never far from our thoughts and always in our prayers. We look every day for updates. If the power of prayer and loving thoughts can heal you, you'll be cured in no time, cause there's a lot of it out here. We're also thinking of your mom and dad, and your brothers and extended family, and praying for strength for them too. One thing is for sure, Kristin, you are making positive things happen out of a negative in your life, and it will make you stronger. You can be very proud of yourself. Have faith, and don't lose your smile. May God bless you and keep you safe. Beth and Lonnie

We wish you the best,and have you and your family in our prayers. Hang in there with the chemo, I worked in Rochester for awhile and know the kind of stuff you have to do, but it will be all worthwhile. Are you still thinking about a sheep? Amy would be thrilled to come and help you with one. We have 4 babies right now, they are getting spoiled though!! Take Care, glad you are back at school. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Hi Kristin, I know that you don't know me, but please know that you have been added to our prayer list. My brother-in-law works with Kim Brommer in Alma and Kim told me about you. I am glad that you were able to get your web page set up. I will be adding your page link to ours, so that others can drop in and give their support to you and your family. The power of prayer is an amazing thing, I've seen it first hand. If ever you need someone to talk with I know that my daughter Ashlee would be more than happy to talk with you since she has been where you are today. I think the best advice that I can give to you is stay postive and don't ever loose hope. You are in our prayers and thoughts.

Take good care of yourself, do what the doctors and nurses tell you (even if it's gross), and concentrate on getting better. I admire your spirit and your strength. You are an inspiration to us all!

Good morning Kristin!
I'm happy to see that you've set up your very own Caring Bridge website! This is a wonderful source of communication between you, your family, and your friends. I had the opportunity to utilize this website in the past. When you have some spare time, please visit my dear friend Ashlee's website: http://www.caringbridge.org/wi/ashleemmack/
Even though I've never met Ashlee, I have made a connection with her and her family through email. You see, Ashlee was diagonosed with the very same kind of cancer as my Godchild Ashley a year ago in February. The great news is, she's in remission! She's living a busy life as a senior in high school. Sometime I'll have to show you pictures of her last year prom. She encountered a difficult road last year, but still had the inspiration to pull through it all. Her mother asked to put you on the prayer list which you can view at the bottom of Ashlee's home page. The power of prayer will guide you Kristin. Take care sunshine!
Love, Kim
