Taxol #4 went great Friday! Mom and Billy went with me and the nurses let both of them sit with me since it wasn’t very crowded. I saw Dr. Brennan again and he said we are still on track and things are looking good. :)

Thanks for ALL your prayers and words of encouragement. All your support has been fantastic! If you could also keep my mom in your prayers this week…on Tuesday she is having gamma knife radio-surgery to zap the tumor in her brain. I know all your prayers have done wonders for me, and I’m sure they will also help my mom get through everything and ease her worries. Thanks so much!!
