Kim starts her chemo this Monday, December 7th, it will last around 30-60 minutes everyday through Friday, December 11th. Then she will have three weeks off then a week of chemo, three weeks off on so forth. This will be a good routine for her and she shouldn't get too sick we hope!
The doctors took two nymph nodes and one came back no cancer and the other came back cancerous. Dr. Capen has decided to add a new doctor to that specializes in small cell cancer to help out. Although Dr. Capen is still her doctor for her pelvic exams she now has a new Doctor that has joined her team. He is a specialist in small cell cancer and will be in charge of her treatments and meds that is needed to hopefully keep her cancer from spreading to any organs. This new Doctor was very blunt with Kim about treatments and if it should ever spread to any organs. Kim being so young we feel will help her fight this type of cancer.
Prayers and comments of encouragement are welcomed and all the support is what will help her continue this fight! WE appreciate all the prayers thus far! Love you all -

You are such an inspriation to so many people Kim! You have taught me a lot about life that I only thought I knew, but I realized after reading everything you've been through life is so precious! You are constantly in my prayers and my thoughts! Stay strong for B, because one day he's going to be able to look back and say, "Look how tough my Mommy was!" And he is going to be so proud of you! Love you Kim!
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you every day when I wake up. You are so brave and I know you are fighting for Barre and all of us who love you. During these tough times, think how everyone is praying for you and how much we love you and Barre.
Hugs and Kisses

Kim,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that you have another specialist added to your team specializing in small cell. A friend of mine is treated at MD Anderson and having a specialist in her type of cancer has proven to be spectacular. She is now 5 yrs cancer free. Hers also is a very aggressive cancer.
I am certain that you will show the medical team what a fighter you are and how your prayer warriors will be with you every step of the way. That beautiful smile and positive attitude are wonderful weapons. We are in prayer with you and Barre every day... :)
Wishing you and Barre all the joys of the Christmas holidays. This time of year is so special in my memories with our loving family.
Love you...Sherry
