THINK PINK!!

My hair started to grow back, the fell out again but only in a large patch on the left side of my head. My Grandson thought I should have a Hawk like his, so I decided to make mine a breast cancer one.

Jaden and I rocking our Hawks.

Don't worry this is just my Lane from Gilmore Girls moment. Meaning I am shaving it so my hair grows in even and all I will have are these pictures to prove I once rocked a hawk

OK it's 4:00am and I can't sleep thanks to the steroids, so I thought this would be a good time to update the blog. It's been a week since my last high dose of Chemo and this coming Monday I take my first of four weekly low doses of the chemo. I am looking forward to it they say I won't get that sick, YEA! The Dr. told me to take my anti nausea medicine 3X's a day to keep me from getting ill. I was real good the first 5 days, then yesterday I thought I feel fine so why take the meds when I don't feel sick. Well lets just say the cashier at the store who's feet got in the way while I was throwing up on the floor probably wished I had followed the Dr. orders. I just had to laugh what else could I do, I am not pretty when I cry.

We still don't know when Johns surgery is there was a problem with the Oral surgery office and our insurance. They first told us our insurance wouldn't pay for the anesthesia and we would have to pay out of pocket up front, then they said the insurance wouldn't cover the removal of the tumors and guess who they wanted to pay?! If I had hair I would have pulled it out! Apparently our medical insurance is better then our dental and the insurance company says it is covered if they bill it right. I was quite stressed out by Monday afternoon thinking John wouldn't be able to have surgery, then I had my dad give me a fathers blessing and with allot of personal prayer I was guided to the Cancer Alliance Center. They should be calling me to day with a surgery date.

I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father I know that we are in His care and He is guiding us through this trial. Thank you everyone for all the help and prayers on our families behalf.


take care, Crystee

GOOD NEWS!!!!

Well today I went to the Dr. for a bunch of test and a Bone Marrow biopsy and the good news is my body is producing all three blood components and I don't have to do the growth factor!! I did Chemo today and will do a dose on Friday, then I go down to once a week for four weeks, then two times a month for two months then once a month for a year. I feel so blessed thank you for all your prayers and support you have giving me. Now I can put all my energy on getting John over his Mouth Cancer so please continue keeping us in your prayers. Sorry this is so brief but I just had a couple of minuets take care Crystee
