CT Scan & Blood Barrier Markers Results

Holly received her CT scan and blood barrier markers today!

The cancer has grew about 1 inch, instead of doubling in size. The cancer has stopped growing so rapidly, therefore, something must be working in the treatments.

Holly will be going to Seattle on Tuesday to discuss her next step or direction she will take with the doctors.

THE POSITIVES:
-Holly feels good
-Holly has maintained her weight all week
-Holly's cancer is not growing actively, it has slowed
-Holly's spirits are remaining high

NICE WORK Hols, Kung Foo Fighter, HONNNEY, and Soul Sista!

Go TEAM HOLLY!

6th trip to Seattle

Holly's trip to Seattle was good and taking the treatments like a pro!

Holly's pain is better managed and resting as much as she can.
 She has maintained her weight all week, since the beginning of all of this!

Her spirits are still remaining high, since the golf benefit & dinner/auction! 

Thank you everyone!

GO TEAM HOLLY!

Holly's 5th Treatment in Seattle

Holly had some pain last nite but feels better today.  

Chemotherapy went well!  Do to Holly's H & H being all up and down, Seattle doctors want to stimulate the bone marrow to produce WBC with neuprogen shots x3, she will be getting those in Bend.  Cancer blood markers were drawn on Tuesday, therefore we may possibly get the results tomorrow. (A way to track if the chemotherapy has been working without checking it with ct scan.)

Holly is still on track for her 6th chemotherapy treatment next Tuesday in Seattle.  Later in the week Holly will receive a ct scan in Bend .

Holly's 7th chemotherapy trip to Seattle, in two weeks, will hopefully be able to tell if the chemotherapy is working or we need to do a different protocol. 

Thanks to everyone in the past week, Holly has definitely been showing more signs of happiness, energy, and even taking Evan to the library.

Golf Benefit / Dinner Auction = Success

 Sorry everyone, it has been a while since the last post due to Holly's benefits preparations but we can now get everyone up to date.Holly and TEAM Holly wanted to thank everyone for their support and donations during the golf benefit and dinner/auction.

It was so breath taking and amazing to see the love & support! Holly was truly touched by all of you especially with the group hug on the dance floor during the dinner/auction and concert. It is one thing to read about everyone's support but she really felt your support in person that night. It was awesome!!

 

We have many to thank and we will do so appropriately at a later date but right now we need to immediately thank Jeff Greene and Aspen Lakes Golf for a tremendous day of golf and fun. Special thanks goes out to Karen and Wayne Wallace for offering their home and hard work preparing for the amazing dinner benefit along with Yvonne Tillman, Yvonne Houser, and Debbie Ritzenthaler.  I now there was a huge crew that helped prepare and cleanup the site so thank you, thank you, thank you, to you all. Special thanks also goes out to the woman behind the scenes, Shelly Greene, for her endless hours of communicating and preparing and finalizing the benefits through emails. And of course all of you who donated, participated and attending the events. The events would not have been a success without you! 

 

Holly's health update: she received 1 unit of blood yesterday and is ready for her next treatment in Seattle on Tuesday. She will also be getting her cancer markers checked to see how the specific drugs are reacting with the cancer. We will not know the results for a few days after her Seattle visit. Holly has high spirits right now due to everyones love and support the last couple of days. Way to go everyone! Just what we were hoping for!

She thanks everyone for their support and endless flow of cards.

We will now switch gears and get in running or walking shape to now help Holly with:
