We have been quiet simply because there has been nothing to report on Jill’s road to recovery. She has felt good the past few days and has been able to work, take care of the kids, etc – live a normal life. Tomorrow she has her 5th Chemo treatment, and the first of the 2nd protocol. The only thing we know is that this one takes longer to administer. 6 hours instead of ~3. We have no idea if this treatment will be better or worse as far as side effects.
On a side note, while Jill’s road has been quiet this week, others have not been as lucky. As we detailed before, Jill has tested positive for the BRCA gene mutation, aka – breast cancer gene. I am not going to get into the big picture of everyone who might be impacted by this knowledge, but one of her sisters has also tested positive for this gene. Lyndsay has made this known via Facebook, so I am comfortable putting it out here. She has some tough decisions to make, so please keep her in your prayers. See her on facebook for more details.
Tell Jill I'll see her tomorrow, it was nice to meet her last time. She has that wonderful "positive" spirit that will get her thru this. One day at a time......
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear that Jill has had some really great "normal" days!! That is great! I am sorry to hear about the decision her sister, Lyndsay, is having to make and pray that God will help her in that decision. I will see you guys tonight when I pick up Holly for soccer. Thanks for keeping us updated!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that Jill has been doing very well. I pray that she remains strong and that she does just as "well" as the last treamtents. *( meaning I hope they are NO worse )
ReplyDeleteI will also be praying very diligently for Lyndsay. This I can tell you is TOUGH, I had the same DESCIONS TO MAKE..( Mine were just complicated.) I hope that pray that God guides every thought, every descion and choice she has to make! Hugs to you all!

ReplyDeleteAs for Lynds that is a very tough decision to make. I too pray that God will help her make that decision and she rely on him and her family for their strength.
