~MichelleH~Update From 4/14/08
I tried to post this update Friday but to no avail, I kept losing my posts. Michelle is touched by our prayers, positive thoughts, support and of course our garden endeavors. I told you her heart would smile outloud. I printed all the posts and made a nice care package for her and the little ones, after all, they are going through a hard time too!!
She was very fatigued when I spoke last to her and could not remember the names of the two new drugs she has incooperated into her regime. I quickly changed the subject so she would not feel pressured to remember. They are COLON CANCER drugs and her doctor and the Mayo Clinic have seen some great results using this combo. The next time I speak with her husband I will get the names for you all.
Her voice sounds stronger than it has in the recent conversations we have shared. Her liver must be feeling a bit better or else they would not start this regime, but that is just my opinion. The laspe in chemo was the LIVER being so ill.
This family is grande and the amount of support we receive here from you all is in itself, a true blessing. Michelle sends her thanks and sprinkles it with smiles. Keep her in heart and mind as she fights this monster.
I also told her to 'just do her best' and to let the doctors and us do the rest. Hope this update finds you all well and happy>>Love>>Believe51
