June 14th update

Nancy has another appointment with Dr Anthony today. The two main topics will be: should Nancy still get Xgiva or should she go back to Zomeda, and what we can do to improve her left arm pain? The first is important as this is one of two major meds that Nancy takes. We will keep you posted on this in about a week. Hope you are all enjoying summer, we are still waiting in Spokane for summer to start (chuckle)

May 25th update

Nancy did not get to see her Mom in Greem Bay for Mother's Day. Early morning May
8th I had a heart attack....so she spent Mom's Day at Holy Family hospital. They put a stent in, and a full recovery is anticipated. We did have both boys (and one
grandson) as visitors. Grama was busy with Deacon!
Nancy had her regular appointment last week. She has been unusually tired for the last two weeks. Next scheduled appt is June 14th. She will get to see the grandkids (and Todd, Ally and Mike) next weekend.

The cards, letters, calls and emails continue to bless Nancy, thank you all, BC

May 2nd update....good news!

Nancy had her appointment last Friday. Following are taken from the scan findings:

"Sites of osseous metastatic disease within the chest, abdomen, and pelvis appear to be less intense than on previous examination. This is particularly notable at T11 with improvement seen at the levels of T7 and T8. Uptake at L3 in the lumbar spine is also significantly improved. Pelvic lesions are also less intense. Lesion in the posterior column of the left acetabulum is also less intense. No new lesions are identified."

This report shows not only stability but improvement! No new cancer findings, and the existing is less intense in some areas.

Nancy's knee is still an issue, and she will soon be scheduled for that.

Thank you for all your support, we will try to keep you informed.

April 26th update

Nancy had the scans.... and her follow-up appointment is this Friday with Dr Anthony. Will update when we get the results. Thanks for all the support!

April 11th Update

Nancy had an appointment last Thursday. They did change to Xgeva, the alternative for Zomeda. This treatment is a shot, so it takes much less time for the appointment. Nancy had some reaction, similar or a little less than the Zomeda.

At the Doctor's review it was decided to take two scans. These are a couple of months early.... so Thursday and next Tuesday Nancy are her times for those scans.
One area of concern is Nancy's knee.

We will update as we get the scan results. Your support is wonderful! Thank you!

April 3rd Update

Nancy and I have been in Austin since the 25th. She has had a wonderful time with Keeton, getting to know Deacon, and of course, time with Todd and Ally. She had one very bad day, and a few headaches that meds took care of......overall has been a very good trip. We return to Spokane Monday night.

Thursday we are at Dr Anthony's..... maybe this time we change from Zomeda, maybe not. Nancy continues her neck exercises... my belief is there has been a small improvement; it is too early to tell yet.

Nancy's Dad is in Florida getting treatments for cancer. Round one of treatments are now being increased (doubled) starting tomorrow.

I know there have not been many updates lately, but there has not been much new news.

Thank you all, BC

March 12th update

Nancy (and I) have a new grandson, Deacon Bennett was born on Tuesday. Mom and baby are doing well; they are at home now. We will go visit on March 25th.

Nancy also went to her first physical therapy for her neck. She now has a daily regimine to do. Hopefully this will help with the headaches.

Your support continues to be terrific, thank you!
