A Fighter---Gwyn is going to the Cancer Treatment Centers Of America in Chicago on August 2nd for more treatments on her bone cancer. They will be putting her through several tests and then her and Robbin will be able to select an option for further treatment. She wants to keep all of her supporters informed so her nephew Jason has created this blog for her. I'm a person with lots of HOPE and want to share it with you! Thanks, Jason!!

Chemo Aftermath...yuk ;(
Robbin and I headed home Wednesday morning. All was going well until we got on the plane. It was like a switch was turned on. I got the most painful muscle cramps and bone pain in my back. All that could be done was rubbing my back and hope that the pain pills kicked in fast. After about an hour, I started getting relief and was able to sleep the rest of the way home. Once we got home I went to bed and that lasted for 2 days. So much pain and little relief this time. Robbin is so patient with me, making sure I have something to eat and rest so I could back to myself. Thursday we got a call from the doctor in Chicago. She told me that the cancer markers in the blood had gone down. What a relief that was to hear. So the hormone shots that I am getting are working!!! YEA!!! All I need now is some strength. That will take a couple of days but after that I will be able to have a life again. Thanks again for all the prayers. God is working wonders with me!! Love you all and don't forget to call when you want a blue cheese burger!!
