Re: Encouragement Needed
Ladies,
I must say you ALL are MOST AMAZING!!!!
I am so grateful for your outpouring of love and support. We never expect to be "here", but surrounded by you all, I feel INVINCIBLE!!!
As Leah reported, I am scheduled for Gamma Knife at the main campus of Cleveland Clinic, OH on Tuesday, June 24. Right now, it looks like one superficial 2 cm spot on the Left Parietal brain, no other symptoms/indications.
After this is treated, full body and bone scans will be done to check the rest of the body, followed by brain MRIs every 2 months.
I have a long list of things I need yet to do.....seeing children graduate and get married, watching grandchildren grow up...HER2 isn't getting rid of me that easily 
Love, light, and long life xoxoxoxoxxooxoxox

Re: Encouragement Needed
Update. Paula had her zap today on one pesky little spot. She should be heading home soon. Her sister told me the zap should kill off the cancer over six weeks or so. I'm hopeful that this works and Paula gets back to living. She texted me a picture of herself this AM wearing Hulk gloves. She was ready to fight!
