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 Dutch


I think she bought a wig and I know that her Mom bought her some pretty scarves to wear. This bit of good news has helped her to realize that she has

Hi Suzanne


I have no idea if she donated her hair I am sure it was long enough. She is a tough girl. Survived a horrible car accident in 1997 that almost ended her life.


Love ya

Hi Lor


She is doing pretty well with the chemo. Not too sick to her stomach but very tired which I understand it one of the side effects.


Love ya
