Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Just a recap of moms cancer journey for those of you who may not know. Mom was diagnosed with sarcoma in October of 2019 after a biopsy of a small knot on the top of her head. They immediately removed a large portion on the top of her head and followed with 6 weeks of radiation. For two years she continued with her 6 month pet scans with good reports until this last time, in October 2021 it had decided to attack and we then got the diagnosis of stage IV. Mom then went through 3 rounds of chemo which resulted in three hospital visits, so this was obviously not going to work. She went through three rounds of pinpoint radiation on several spots on her brain and they then referred her to MD Anderson Sarcoma clinic for further treatment. She had her initial visit at MDA in January and they decided to give it a 2 month rest and then revisit. I will start the posts from that point.
We were so blessed to be able to enjoy the vacation from cancer over the holidays and even were able to sneak in a trip to Estes Park, CO before we had to deal with the reality of this season again. Mom has the absolute best spirit of anyone I have ever seen! She knows that God has a plan through this, whatever the outcome. She continues to bless and encourage every single person she meets and to love on us as she always has. We will continue to cherish each day we have! Dave has been an God send and the very best partner through every single step of this journey! (and a great Uber driver even though he hates to even leave Alvarado!! Houston is really pushing it!!) And thank you to each and every one of you who has reached out to her to love on her in so many ways through this, it means the world to her and to us!
