Lung Cancer - I might have it.

[musicdeb]

Looby thank you for jumping in!!!

Apologizes to everyone I have been without a computer for about 3 weeks now.

Tammy is doing well, she is on the last leg of the HORRIBLE journey. She has one more week of brain radiation left!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is very very tired with these rounds of radiation but all things considered she is doing AMAZING!!!!!!! I do talk to her daily and she is in great spirits.

I am so proud and envious of her amazing attitude as she has barely faltered during this horrible ordeal.

thank you everyone for keeping her in your thoughts, prayers, and hearts.

CR

Not been on here for a while but glad to hear of Tammy's progess

 

[fila4me]

so awesome to hear!! we Tammy's are fighters for sure!!!!!!

 

[Bailey's Mom]

I think it's time for another update. Tell us how Tammy is doing, please?

Is she okay? Has she finished her radiation? What are the doctors saying? News, please!

Also, it's October, I would like it if all the people who sent mail before would find special Christmas cards for Tammy and her family. Winter is hard when you are sick, the cards will brighten her day.

Thank You, you Marvellous Mastiff People...You Are The Best.

Sorry for lacking on my updates!!!!

So ALL cancer treatments are OFFICALLY DONE!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!

She goes in for her Lumbar Puncture tomorrow to try to reduce the pressure and fluids in her brain from the tumor on her sinus artery. It is an outpatient procedure and should only take about 45 mins to complete. If the puncture is successful in reducing the fluid, pressure and headaches then she will go back to have a shunt put in. So please keep Tammy in your thoughts tomorrow.

She has another CT next week to recheck everything and make sure that there is no sign of the cancer left. I will of course update you when I get the results from her.

Tammy is in amazing spirits as she always is. Two weeks ago they went on a weekend get away to the cabin that they rented with the funds that we had raised for her. They had a great time. She is also going home to Canada next month and is over the moon about seeing her family again.

Thank you to all for thinking,supporting, praying and everything else that you have done for her.

Thank you for the update, CR.

Wow- such a rough, but inspiring journey she has been through...and is on.

But, things sound like they are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel- Yay!

 

[cayeesmom]

Great update, so glad she will be able to go 'home" and visit. Crossing my finger that this chapter is in her life is coming to an end.

 

[Bailey's Mom]

Thank you, CR! It is so good to hear that Tammy is embracing life. Much affection to the two of you for this rollercoaster ride you've been on. Hugs, Kisses & Best Wishes!

I hope all of you will send her a Christmas Card...I think it will be a very precious, hard won, hard fought for Christmas.

 

[Harrygto]

thanks for the update

 

[cinnamon roll]

Thank you everyone and of course I will pass on all your wonderful kind messages to her.

She had the procedure done they removed a lot of fluid from her spine BUT the pressure is well above average in her spine so she may have to have surgery for it. As in typical Tammy fashion she is doing amazing and taking everything thing in stride. Her outlook and attitude blow me away.

Although being the sweety that I am I told her I am going to stop calling her as she keeps giving me bad news I can't repeat what she called me, but for those of you who know Tammy you can guess the nice words she called me. HAHAHAHAHA

I will update you as soon as I get some more info.

 

[chuckorlando]
