C IS FOR CARWASH

Hello Friends-

Over the past few months I have been working on ideas in pursuit to raise money to pay for my treatments. It has come down to using fundraising as my source for income to combat this wicked disease. This weekend there is a car wash being held at HERNDON and CEDAR. Both SATURDAY and SUNDAY from 8-3 there will be friends washing cars to help me in this fight. At the moment we are short handed and can use any help. Whether it is bringing you and your friends cars by; for a wash or telling your co workers about the event, help is needed. More than anything we need bodies. I know everyone is busy with life, and this weekend conference, but any help would be greatly appreciated. If you can come between conference sessions, between your errands, whatever, we need help washing these vehicles. Thank you all for you r prayers, calls, and thoughts. This weekend if you can help just a little, for me it will go a long way. Thank you so much, I pray all of you are well. And please call or email and let me know, your availability.

your friend in fighting

The Cranes

So when I was in hawaii I had the pleasure of making many friends from all over. One of my closer friendships started quickly and has continued to be an amazing source of support through all of this. A couple of months ago I got a link to this blog to see something that was "for me". At any rate I just wanted to thank her again, and her wonderful nieces, Taylor and Hallie. Anyway you should check out this blog, its a tear jerker. http://annaleepuzey.blogspot.com/ Thanks again Anna this means so much. Taylor and Hallie

Chemo Update Round 3

Round 3 So round 3 started on new years. The crew (Tom, Sam, and Sarah oh and my Mom) came up and we played Settlers of Catan. After a few rounds and as the new year was closing in, I started cheating in the game, profusely. I believe it was the premeds for chemo, either way, Sam and I had a great time!!

I headed to bed a bit early and as I layed there in a very sick and drugged state, I thought about the year and its ups and downs. I had lived in Hawaii, had back surgery, moved from Fresno, and said goodbye to a loved friend. As I thought about all of these things and I felt the new year coming on, I was also very aware, of how full my life is. And whether or not this cancer has the stamina for a fight, I do, and that makes a difference. So I began round 4 Methotrexate.
Well the round did not go as planned, the drug, Meth should have cleared in 4-5 days. Some 24 days later, I was finally at an acceptable and functional kidney rate. So during this run, while all of my cancerous cells were obliterated some of my organs took a vacation. My kidneys, gallbladder, liver, spleen, lungs and heart all decided their new years resolution, was at least 1 day off a week. Anyway after lots of prayer, and a whole lot of drugs and waiting, everything resumed its normal activity. ( the next round of Meth will be augmented, as not to destroy The Chad)
