March 30th update

Nancy has a new appointment with Dr Anthony in Spokane on April 12th at 2:00. We will review the chemo treatment plan, as well as review what we may expect. There are also drug for symptoms like nausea, etc that will be reviewed.

Nancy had a so-so weekend, she has been very tired and somewhat achy. We are told this is part of post surgery healing. Thank you all for all the cards, calls, and support.

March 24th update

Nancy is home in Spokane. We had our last meeting with the surgeon on Tuesday and then drove home. Within 15 minutes after getting home, Ally brought Keeton over to see Grama. It was a great homecoming. There are no appointments until April 20th. Nancy's Mom and sister Sharon will be visiting.... and Nancy gets a whole month to heal. Thanks to all for your support!

March 20th Update

Well, Nancy returned to the "scene of the crime, back to Whidbey Island". In late July this is where we started to discover Nancy's health issues. This morning, she walked on the beach, this afternoon, she and Sue had errands, which is a lot like shopping. A very relaxing weekend with our friends the Brices. Next appointment is Tuesday. Our best to all of Nancy's support group!!

March 18th Update

Nancy is healing well......she actually played a little piano today.

We met with her Oncologist today. He laid out the following plan. For the next month, Nancy rests and heals. On April 20th, we will be in Kirkland for pre-ops. On the 21st, Nancy will have surgery to insert a port. This will be used for chemo therapy treatment beginning the last week of April. The chemo is called Taxol, and is a weekly treatment. All treatments will be done in Spokane. There is no need for radiation. At the end of August, Nancy will resume with the Femara, the daily pills she is taking now.

Nancy will be home next Tuesday night. Again, thank you for all your support, BC

March 17th update

Well, no pathology report today. Maybe tomorrow...... Nancy had a good day. Took a couple of rests, and had her toenails done this afternoon with her friend Merrie. Tomorrow is an infusion and meeting with the Oncologist.....Happy St Patrick's Day, from William Patrick Curry (chuckle).

March 16th update

Nancy met with the surgeon today. The post operation review looked good. We do have one more review with the surgeon next Tuesday. The lab report was not complete for our appointment. We should see that tomorrow afternoon, and have scheduled an appointment with the Oncologist for Thursday am at 10:15. Nancy will also have an infusion after that. We may know more about possible radiation or any medicine changes at that time. Nancy has been a trooper, she is napping now..... thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers!

March 15th update

Nancy has rested today. Her left arm has had some pain. Our friends the Brennan's visited today. Again, all of your support has been amazing. Tomorrow we have our review with the Surgeon, and should learn a lot. Thank you!!

March 13th update

Nancy is doing really well. She has slept both nights really well. Our friend Cindy Lupton and Merrie Tomlin have provided nurse care. She had dinner last night here at the Tomlins provided by and with Tom and Nancy Stewart. This afternoon she is going to have her hair washed (no showers until after Tuesday). She is just doing great. Thanks for the cards, calls, and support. Our next appt is Tuesday at 1:00. Blessings to all!

Keeton is here (Todd and Ally too) as well as Mike has been here almost every minute. Keeton is great therapy for Nancy!!!

March 11th update

Nancy had little sleep last night, then a good nap this morning. She is back at the Tomlin's, resting comfortably. Our friend Cindy Lupton is by her side. We met with the surgeon this morning at 6:15. He stated again that the surgery went as planned. Our next meeting is Tuesday at 1:00 here in Kirkland. We will learn at that time about possible radiation or other treatment changes, if any, are needed. Evergreen Hospital treated us great. Thanks to all for the huge support. Sorry this was late in getting done today......lots going on :-)

Nancy is in room 8064 here at Evergreen. She is comfortable, our friend Cindy Lupton is here along with Mike and me. She is having ice chips and some gatorade......and expects to have a light dinner soon. She is in good spirits. Thanks for all your prayers and support. BC

Surgery successful

Nancy's surgery went as planned.....she will be in her room around 5:30. The surgeon says she will be released tomorrow. We are thankful for this successful surgery. Now we wait for the lab reports on the cancer, which should be next Tuesday. Evergreen staff has been amazing.
Thanks for all the support, BC
