Trevor was 2 when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He is now 4! He's been battling this beast for half his life! Today the doctors at St Jude's told his mom what we've all been waiting and praying for!!!!!!! The beast has some battle scars!! The tumor that has been growing on every MRI he's had since the beginning has NOT GROWN since the last MRI. It took up less intravenous contrast which the doctors believe to mean that the beast is severly injured from the chemo and all of the prayers going out to this little man from all over the states! To meet Trevor, you would NEVER know he has cancer. He is a ball of fire and energy! Please remember him in your prayers and that the chemo continues to conquer the beast!
Freda was 31 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. In the beginning the cancer was only in her breast. They treated her with intravenous chemo and surgery. She did well and was cancer free. Then 4 yrs ago, it returned in her bones. She began oral chemo and injections to put her into menopause because her hormones were feeding the cancer. For awhile the chemo kept the cancer under control. This Spring her routine lab work showed an increase in her cancer markers and her Oncologist informed her she needed to start aggressive treatment NOW!! She is now being treated at MD Anderson for metastatic breast cancer that is in the base of her skull, her ribs, spine, pelvis and femurs. She is tolerating the oral chemo well. The Oncologist says they have had a lot of positive outcomes with this chemo. Freda is staying positive and knows the ultimate person in control is God. Joel and I alternate going to Houston with her to her appointments. We have a great time and cherish every minute of it! Please keep her in your prayers also!
In this picture are two cancer warriors, Freda & Trevor, and a cancer ass kicker, that's me! I know the other two will be cancer ass kickers too!! I was very fortunate to have found my cancer early, it had not spread, I had a wonderful team of doctors and a guardian angel and God watching over me. So instead of cancer being a number or statistic, this is what cancer looks like.
Here is Calen & Maegan playing their Nintendo DS
Makayla snagged Trevor's Cars Computer and has the s!#* eating grin!
My cake from my surprise birthday party Joel had for me! How thoughtful is he??
I just noticed Maegan is standing directly in front of the reindeer so his horns looks like hers! Which is not far from the truth!
My whole family! **If you would like to follow Trevor's blog, the link is on my sidebar. **
