During the last auction, over $5,000 was raised, making a sizable dent in Stacie’s medical bills. Each auction participant made a very real impact in Stacie’s health as a result! Thanks to chemotherapy this fall, 1 of the 4 tumors in Stacie’s breast has disappeared, and the other 3 are now much smaller. Stacie’s doctor is in the process of doubling her chemo in the hope that the 3 small, remaining tumors will be “dissolved” by the end of December. Although she will need to remain on chemo until September of 2009, if all goes well her chemo may be reduced after the holidays, allowing her hair to grow back and her overall health to improve dramatically.

Once again I find myself trying to decide if I should post about the same crapola you all have to see on my LJ all the time. Since I don’t get to speak to alot of you as much as I would like lately I’ve decided to go ahead and let you know here what’s going on.

Over the last 2 weeks I’ve been getting tests done, the results came back and I went in to discuss the next step in my treatment plan. I’m still trying to figure out some of it, but I can tell what I understand so far.

The tumor they were worried about is not gone, however it is ALOT smaller, so small in fact they had a hard time finding it. This was great news, however they discovered 3 other small tumors. Very small. But still there. I’m going to be on Chemo pills for a year straight. I need 12 Radiation Treatments also in a year. It’s not the worst news, at all. I’m just tired. The hospital is stressing on me with the money factor, and I’m very tired of worrying about that on top of everything else. One more year of this…oy.

First off I should say, sorry it’s taken so long to let everyone know how things are going.

I need to express to everyone a big THANK YOU for everything that is being done, the kindness and generosity is wonderful. I’ve been able to get thru this with all of your help. Again thank you.

A campaign to raise money is in the beginning stages, keep your eyes open for all the great stuff my awesome friends are doing! IF anyone would like to help, please e-mail the site. We can use as much help as possible getting the word out.

I started Chemo, and I’m doing Okay. I have good days and bad days, just like everyone else I suppose. The Kids are back in school and adjusting.

The site will be changing and a personal page will be added with pictures, plus alot of other features. I love hearing from all of you, Thank you for all the e-mails, PM’s and kind words! Please keep an eye out in your e-mail boxes for a little something from me.

I will try very hard to update more often.
