Danielle was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer mid September. Chemo begins Tuesday, October 11 and will continue as long as it’s being effective. Other options will be considered should chemo become insufficient. Assistance will be needed for the foreseeable future so please check back often. Warm thanks from the Ohsiek and Stopek families.

Journal entry by Stacey Harrington

So, I finally have results of my scan.


Everything is shrinking and responding to chemo! Almost everything in my abdominal lining is gone. (Very thankful for that because it can’t be removed any other way). 
Everything else is shrinking too. 

January 4th I start a 3 month round of chemo (biweekly treatments) without the drug that gives me finger tingling so my nerves can rest. Then another round after that with that drug added back in.

I’m feeling great. My body is feeling great. I’m very happy progress is being made. I’m very thankful for all the prayers and support everyone is giving me. God is doing amazing things in me. 

Please pray that in the next 3 months the chemo not only maintains what we’ve accomplished but continues to shrink everything.
