Journal entry by Joanna Evans

Treatment day was supposed to be today. After reviewing yesterday’s CT scan the Dr again recommended hospice and said he has exhausted all efforts and everything he can think of to help me. 
I asked that we continue immunotherapy and he agreed ,so we did that today. I asked if there was ANYTHING else we could try because I’m not ready to give up. So I’ll start the chemo pills soon. He said 1 out of 20 times they show results with my type of cancer. We let him know we are literally willing to try anything to give me more time with my family! Praying so hard I’m the 1 in 20 where this works!
Sister Dolce called and prayed with my Thursday and that’s when I started feeling better from the blood transfusion. I wish Baton Rouge was closer so we could visit in person with her more often, she’s so kind! Also my sweet friends the Ballard’s are there, and I’m so so glad Jamie and the boys have gotten a chance to know them. ❤️
This summer was so special getting to spend so much quality time together and visit my Nashville family and the others who came to town just to visit me! I’ve never felt so special or so loved as I did during my birthday party seeing all the wonderful people I love that came to celebrate with me!  Jamie has truly gone above and beyond to show his love for me, I wish I could show him in return how much he means to me, he is an absolutely amazing Husband and father and I’m so thankful God put him in my last,
One major bucket list item is to take the boys to the Grand Canyon and Sedona in the Fall but I just don’t see how we can get that done but I’m still going to look into that. We got most of the other smaller bucket list items done this summer and it was so fun and special spending that time with my family. 
I’ll update as often as I can 
Love you alll
