Journal entry by Christy Pappas —
Christy, has started this website for my mom in order to keep all up to date on treatment and progress of her cancer.
In August of 2019 we discovered that not only did the cancer return to her face ( right temple), but she had separate areas that were affected, as well. Those included spots on her liver and the lining of her pelvic area.
Since the cancer on her face was the most painful and continued to get bigger each day, the oncologist wanted to attack this area first. She has now had 5 radiology treatments and will have 5 more next week. So far, the large red bump on the temple has not changed but we are hopeful it will shrink by the end of next week
we will call her oncologist next week to schedule her chemo treatments to follow the radiation Thankfully, she will only endure 1 chemo treatment every 3 weeks. We are hoping this will curtail her nausea Currently she does have nausea, daily, and throughout the day, however, thankfully good old CBD (tincture) has been a huge success for taking away the nausea and she is able to eat !!!! We are all grateful for this wonder plant👍👍😊😊
her spirits appear to be good and prayer has been a blessing for us and we have been blessed with prayers from others, as well. Thank you!! Power of prayer has blessed us through the whole endeavor. Prayers are welcomed by all!!!!
she is going to the gym most days and there are only sporadic days of fatigue. However, if you do call (415-497-6223) and she does not return your call that day please be patient as there are days that she is simply tired
Myself, my husband John and my dad have been here for her at all times, and we are so grateful we are here to help her through this ongoing challenge that we know will end soon and be a success!!!
i will keep all updated, weekly on this site. You will be notified by email when I post.
We we love her so very much and are confident she will beat this, once again!!!!
Thank you
