Hello out there! I just wanted to give a quick update since I know that we have the prayer train rolling all over the country and many are asking how I and the rest of my family are doing. I am currently undergoing treatment for renal cell carcinoma, which is kidney cancer that has moved into my spine and liver. I am taking chemo and its a pill form (Sutent) that I take every nite for 28 days with 14 off. It must be working because I feel h0rrible! No hair loss but it is turning gray...those of you who know me well are aware that I don't wear much makeup but I am going to have to start using an eyebrow pencil and mascara every day - good Lord! The next thing you know I'll have to start wearing actual lip color instead of gloss and then blush...I'll turn into a makeup junkie at the ripe old age of 37 :)
My last radiation treatment on the spine was last Tuesday and I should find out the MRI results (done last Wed) tomorrow. I am confident that the radiation was successful because the pain levels decreased significantly - yeah!
The support has been amazing and we can't thank everyone enough for the kind words, cards, dinners and gift cards - they are being used and we so appreciate them all! One of the most fustrating aspects is physically not being able to do little routine things but we know this will pass. We have asked God for a Cancer Free Xmas and if you say a prayer, please ask for the same.
The rest of the family is great - Andy is my rock and the girls are growing and just a joy for us! We are getting ready for Halloween and have a very spooky front yard - BOO :)
Best to you and yours,
Polly

Glad to see you are joining the rest of us...(anything to make the aging process a little easier). Make up, hair color..ie anything that helps and lord knows the older and tougher live is the more you need to use. But it is not so bad, look at me... BEAUTIFUL!!!!LOL It just takes me a little longer to get ready. I am so glad your spirits are strong. I am sure that the outcome tomorrow will be in your favor. With much love ...xoxox
