Newest Update

Journal entry by Karen Shull

Current update on Kristine! Since last update Kristine has lost all of her hair.  A local beauty salon opened the doors especially for her on a Sunday and she took it gracefully, with no doubt! It’s such a traumatic experience in which she made fun.  With a family member and good friend at her side, champagne was flowing and the fun music playing!! After her head was shaved she disappeared in the spa room and came out with bright lipstick and a long black dress with heals and several different fashionable wigs like she just walked out on the runway in New York or the red carpet of the Oscars!!!  One could not expect any less from our positive Kristine!!

The salon owner said that she has shaved over 50 heads and NO ONE has done anything like it. To think people come in alone and leave bald, Kristine wants to prevent that from ever happening to anyone, so had volunteered to be at the next one for anyone else going thru the same thing.

She just completed her 5th of 12 treatments and is not out of the woods yet. Yesterday her whole body was encompassed with a deep hurting rash all over from the immunotherapy. very painful and Dr. says it may remain until a month after her chemo is complete.  Ugh. The doctor also says mouth sores are next. Not fun!!

As Kristine says, one day closer to being done. The prayers are working so PLEASE keep them comin . If you would like to help in any way, please patron her store, provide an Amazon gift card to purchase expensive lotions that help, wigs or contribute to the GOFundMe account and most importantly just keep praying!! She has really appreciated everything so many people have done for her.  Thanks for ALL the love and support, like she said, one day closer to getting healed!  Thanks again, Karen
