I am sorry that it has taken so long to update Tammy's friends but we have been out of contact with an computer.

Tammy had the mastectomy and they got ALL of the cancer which is a good thing. At first they thought it was a different cancer this time, but it turned out when the report came back from Johns Hopkins that it was her2 plus 4. We do not know what her2 +4 means.

Instead of another round of chemo they chose to put her on an cancer drug that was in pill form that was real strong and she was to be on it for five years, sorry I don't remember the name of it, but it caused a very bad rash all over her body and they took her off of it saying it was the first time somebody has had that reaction to it.

So I don't know where we go from here.

On the home front, we will be getting married sometime this month. Hoorah!

I will try to keep you all informed better in the future.

Please keep Tammy in your prayers as I continue to pray to Our Lady of the Rosary for all of you.

Love 2 all,

Sam Honeycutt

Sam,

Thanks for the update. And congratulations to that 'wedding bell'. Is Tammy taking Tykerb? Some of our members tried reducing the number of pills taken each time and was able to continue.

Tell Tammy we will keep her (and you) in our prayers.
