Carol’s Story

Site created on January 8, 2019


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.  Carol was recently diagnosed with extensive small cell lung cancer.  We are planning on starting chemo therapy treatment on Monday January 21, 2019.    It should go for 3 consecutive days every three weeks for 3 cycles.  However, she may need radiation beforehand, we hope to know by Friday.  

We will try to keep this updated as well as we can.  

We appreciate your thoughts and prayers and will be looking for help making some of these appointments so feel free to reach out.

Hi loving followers. I’m very happy to tell you I’ve had a great birthday on the 20th and a fantabulous Christmas Eve with the entire family. And even had a glowing report at the doctors on Monday!  My CT scans of my chest, abdomen and pelvis were all good!  I’m having a brain scan on January 15, 2020. I also need a colonoscopy and a mammogram but that’s easy!  So I’m feeling great!  Gotta go, more later. Merry Christmas!❤️🎄🙏😇
