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. Thank you for visiting


   As most of you know, I have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer. It has been a whirlwind last few weeks to say the least. Thanks to much support and kindness from many of my friends and family - not to mention tons of prayers- I feel I am ready to fight,

   We have a plan in place 8 rounds of chemo over 4 months. Then surgery, we're not doing the surgery first because I have five lymph nodes that are enlarged and also malignant so they want to shrink them to make the surgery more manageable.  I had my first round of chemo on Monday except for a minor incident of not being able to breath for a minute or two it went ok. I've been anxious about the side affects - who ever I ask says "everybody is different" so I'm just taking one day at a time. I have plenty of anti-nausea meds to take  which I think are helping for the most part, I'm nauseated but not vomiting - glass 1/2 full!!  I'm also doing exactly everything I am being told to do - I plan on being the best patient ever, I will try to update as much as possible even if its just a couple of words.  Any and all prayesr for me and my family would be greatly appreciated - Liam doesn't really know the extent of what's going on , but Mia is having a difficult time.  Tom has been wonderful ( it truly is a bonus to have a husband who is a nurse) but I know this weighs on him heavily.



   The love and support I have felt from all of you is amazing and very humbling - I can't thank you all enough!


With love and appreciation,
Lisa
