Newest Update

Journal entry by Andrea Allison

Hi everyone,
It has been way too long since we gave an update!
My mom has completed radiation and six rounds of chemotherapy. The other treatment she has at this point is called Optune, a device that uses electric fields to disrupt cell division.
She's had MRI's done every two months, and the tumor has been holding steady so far. This type of cancer is not curable, so control is what we are aiming for. When we see growth (which will happen eventually) there may be other types of treatment. 
We listed her home in Angels Camp and got an offer almost immediately! She is now comfy and completely set up in our house and Cade loves "grammy's room" and spends as much time in there as he can.
To everyone who contributed to the GoFundMe, we wanted to share a little bit about how you helped us. When we were driving to Modesto every day, you might have bought us gas, or a coffee, or lunch. You helped us rent a hospital bed, and later upgrade that to a better bed frame to help her sit up. You helped me stay home from work for multiple months when necessary. When my mom needed an emergency surgery, you helped us pay for the hotel room I needed for four nights. She would also like you all to know that every night I left the hospital to that hotel room, she felt her friends beside her, taking care of me and keeping me safe. A walker, a wheelchair, and too many other things to mention. We are so appreciative of you all and want you to know what an impact you have all made.
She misses everyone (and their hair!). Thank you all for the love and support!
