The one that has breast cancer. She had a cat scan after completing her chemo last week. They say the tumor has softened and is getting smaller. This is very good news. She will have to under go 12 more weeks of chemo and then surgery and radiaton but seems so far at least looks like she is going to beat this. She is handeling the chemo pretty well. Has lost all her hair and hates that but a small price to pay she says to beat the cancer!!

Hi Red


She is feeling better now about the possibility of beating this cancer now. Such a scary thing when you hear from a Dr that you have that dreaded "C" word.


She is really upset about the loss of her hair it was down below her waist when she found out she was going to have chemo. She did get it cut short the week before she started the chemo though so it would not be such a shock for her when she did loose it.


Love ya
