A Fighting Spirit
hello dear friend, well, I can't seem to out run this cancer thing-
my latest scan came back - this time its in my bones
sadly, I have to start chemo again and there goes my hair
for the third time . . . my fingers and toes are crossed
that I can beat this (investigating a treatment option in Germany)
oh, this is not a journey I wanted to take but without it I don't stand a chance
my doctors say I would only last months so, I am ready to fight . . .
hello dear friend, I had my first Pembrolizumab treatment today
tomorrow will be a five hour chemo treatment then, I get the weekend off . . .
and will start radiation everyday for the next four months . . .
(hope this helps with the pain in my bones) and I will be getting a chest port
so, I will no longer get stuck with needles and getting Herceptin and Pembrolizumab every second day- I know it sounds like a lot, but I got this . . .
hello dear friend, things are not going so well, sorry I have not been in contact
Dear - we regret to inform you, Jennifer lost her battle today . . .
