Oh, Hey!

Life is happening around here you guys. So much is going on that I don't even know where to start. I guess the most important thing (to me) is that my grandma was recently diagnosed with base of tongue cancer. We still aren't sure what stage it is in, but the treatment has been laid out.

She'll have a drug called Erbitux starting tomorrow, for a few weeks. Then, next Tuesday she'll start eight weeks of radiation. When she was first diagnosed, she was determined not to go through with any treatment. I don't know what changed, but now she's determined to be a success story. 

My job was generous enough to give me off the next few months of Tuesday's so that I can go to treatments with her. I am so grateful that I can be there for her through this. I know my grandpa would have been right beside her, but he's not here so I (along with my aunt and cousins) will be her support.

Did I mention that we're going to Dr. K? You remember him right? My family loves him as much as we do. 

So, that's where we are now. Her treatments start tomorrow, radiation starts next week, and she'll start feeling like crap two weeks from when radiation starts. Please pray for strength for her body and mind. 

And here's to blogging more frequently...
