Dear Special Angels,
 
A quick THANK YOU to everyone who made the fundraiser a success!!! I am grateful for everyone's varied and important contributions! You are all ANGELS!!!! :-)  I feel so loved and supported right now, all because of you. (Personal thank you's forthcoming in snail mail!)
 
Unfortunately, I sit here in a mildew and mold infested office, quickly trying to send this out and then I have to leave!
 
 A mold and mildew remediation company  will be coming in to fumigate the basement and attic below and above the office area some time soon, I hope. All depends on if I can qualify for a grant from FEMA. $2,700 price tag on this cleanup! Not what I wanted to be dealing right now and very important to remediate.
 
Looking for help to clean boxes and a rug out of attic area on Saturday. I have one guy coming on Saturday to make trips to dump, but will need one more person to help  .... if you know of anyone.
 
Hugs to you ALL!!! THANK YOU again for all the hard work you put into the fundraiser. It really was a lovely day and a great success! :-) Thanks to you, I can pay bills for the next 2 1/2 months.
 
***Update on the cancer. At today's Dr's. visit he said "where it it?" after examining me. Sure enough, the original 3 cm across cancer, is now about half the size of a pea -  just "a little scar tissue in there" he says.!!!  The cancer has "repsonded extraordinarily well" to the chemotherapy.. (I have other healers working on it too and that has obviously made the difference!)
 
Lots of  (real, not air!) hugs and kisses to you,
 
Lisa

Hi everyone,
 
I have been feeling well this week and have the third chemotherapy infusion on Monday. It seems like I have one rough week right after and then I am graced with one good week following the first. The oncologist reports that the tumor is shrinking rapidly -  it's responding very well to the chemotherapy!

The best time to call me is in the second week after chemo and that next time period August 17th through August 23rd.
 
After the fourth infusion later this month, they will switch over to a different chemotherapy called Taxol and I will be getting an infusion of that every week through November.
 
Thank you everyone for your support! The green is moving upward on the thermometer, towards the $25,000 goal!
 
Please spread the word, we need as many donations as possible to reach our goal!
 
All the best,
Lisa
 

Hey everyone, I seem to be feeling fine after the first chemo treatment. Today I go in the get a shot to boost my white blood cell count, then I have to administer it each day to myself. I guess I'd better get used to that!
 
Thanks to everyone who has given me so much support already ~
 
Hugs,
 
Lisa

Hello everyone,
I'm off to chemo this morning! I know I sound so excited and I am... It is going to keep me alive and that's a good thing!
I'm not sure how I will be feeling afterwards, so I will ask that people check in here to get status updates ... I will try to update on a twice weekly basis. I think during the next two or three days I will limit phone calls to family members and a few key people only. By the weekend I should be feeling better, so please feel free to call, email or facebook me.
 
Thanks for your support!
