Pathology reports came in and the news was not what any of us expected...tests shows that the cancer is in the lymph nodes. Chemo starts in December a few weeks before Christmas. Doctor told Kim he is not sure if the chemo will work. As my brother says, The Doctors "upbeatness" last week was premature.

Continue to pray for Kim as she starts up her battle once again to fight this cancer...

Please check out the web page/fund my bother has set up for Kim! The funds raised will go towards her medical bills. Since she is unable to work at this time the funds donated will help tremendously! ANY amount will help and adds up...Check it out! We appreciate it!www.giveforward.org/fightforbarre

Surgery went well the cancer did NOT spread! We will know more specifics after the pathology report as far as if she will have to do any chemo. Doctors did tell my brother that Kim will always have to battle this type of cancer...but for now we will take this time to be thankful that it hasn't spread and Kim may get a little break from treatments!!! Thank you for all the prayers and support! Continue to pray for Kim and our family! Love you all!

Today Kim is at Scott and White having her hysterectomy. Please keep her and her doctors in your prayers and that we have good results...will keep you all informed as the week goes by and we get results. Thanks for all your prayers, support and love!

Kim had her pet scan on Monday and her results came in yesterday, October 27, 2009. The scan showed that her tumor is small and she does have cancer in her pelvic lymph nodes. On November 9, 2009 she will have a hysterectomy to remove the tumor and lymph nodes as well. WE are still not sure if the cancer has spread to any organs but the surgery should help us find this out. After the surgery she will start chemo again. We all have enjoyed the break from all treatments and Kim's hair even started to grow again! Although the surgery and starting up chemo again is a let down to Kim, we are very proud of her strength to get back up and prepare to continue her fight.

Barre is growing fast and smiles all the time, he is such a CHARMER! He lights up when he sees Kim and she lights up when she is with him...

Keep Kim and our family in your prayers as we support Kim and as Kim continues to
FIGHT FOR BARRE

Kim has had a few weeks off of any and all treatments which is nice since this means she is not getting sick! She went in to see her Radiologist few weeks ago and he found a mass, he felt that it could be from the radiation but wanted to make sure and sent her to Dr. Kapan, her Oncologist. Dr. Kapan decided to biopsy the tissue and the results came back that there is cancer cells in the tissue. Today Kim had a cat-scan to see what is going on so the Doctors can decide what the next plan of attack will be with her treatment.

Continue to pray for her strength to continue to fight and for a cure, I believe that Kim can be the percentage that does survive this type of cancer. Barre is growing everyday and he continues to be her inspiration...FIGHT FOR BARRE KIM!

We are all so proud of you and are all behind you, just take some of our strength when you need it, WE LOVE YOU!

I just went through almost all of the posts before this one and lots of the comments..wow, how it touches my heart how many people care and are supporting me and Barre. I really do read all the comments you all post. I am going to try to do better at posting.
Well, I am sick with an upper respiratory infection, feelin pretty crappy. But I'm on an antibiotic so I should start feelin better within a day or two. Just hope lil Barre doesnt get it! He is so precious! Yesterday he turned 5 months old!! He's about 14 1/2 lbs or maybe even 15. I do that stand on the scale with and then without him way of getting his weight LOL..it's actually pretty accurate within a few ounces. When I saw his pics from way earlier posts, I am wowed how much he's grown and changed! He is scooting around the floor in a circle and making all kind of new baby babbles. It's so funny, when he's eating his cereal sometimes he makes this noise like "mmm, mmm, mmm"..so cute! He did that alot tonight! Still working with him on sitting up..he's doin a pretty good job, just not on his own yet. I cant wait for us to get to go visit family in October! He will love it I'm sure! Sometimes I'm excited for the new stuff he's doing but at other times it's like, slow down dont grow up too fast! LOL..I love him so very much! He already has some nicknames he may not be too fond of later but we love them..Barre-man, Barre-cakes, Barre, Barrett Parrott, B, Barrett Jay said real fast :) Well I'm gonna go get some rest. Hope you all are in good health and doing well! Oh and Wendi, I am so excited you found me on here, how ironic..I would love to have your email address or something so I can chat with you. I am so blessed for the support me and Barrett get from all you guys. Lots of love!
