Today is my last radiation treatment. It has been a long hard road, but I know that if it wasn't for God. I wouldn't have made it this far. Thanks for all the prayers and support. God is Good. Today after my treatment, Steve and the kids are taken me out to eat for a celebration dinner, so join in and help me celebrate.

And Counting



Yesterday, I received my graduation pin for finishing up all my treatments from the Breast Cancer Center. I also saw my radiation doctor and she had to treat the skin because it was burnt really bad. I could feel immediate relief. Thanks for all the prayers.

Help Me Count My Days Down



It has been a long hard road since November, but my last 5 days are around the corner. I know God has been by my side the whole way and without him I wouldn't have got this far. So join me in helping me count my last 5 radiation treatments days down.

School Update

The first day of school, was really great. The kids had a good time and couldn't believe the day was over.

Today will be their first full day. They get to eat lunch, and have rest time. Steven isn't one to lie down and rest during the day, so we will see how that goes. They thought they were big kids today, we dropped them off at the door and they walked in all by themselves carrying their lunch boxes looking big and brave. I was sad but proud of them at the same time.

Since school is back in, my Diet Coke date will start again. I can’t wait. It means so much to me and makes me feel so good.

They are smarter then we think....

Today Steven was looking at some old pictures, when Steven said "daddy look, you have a cigarette."

Steven: You have quite now.

Daddy: Yes, it's been two years now. Thank you.

Steven: Why did you say thank you.

Daddy: Because having you and Stephanie made me want to stop smoking.

Steven: no Daddy, you were looking for some cheap and couldn't fine any......

Radiation Update

Hello Everyone,

Just a short note to let everyone know how my radiation treatment is going. I am now on my third week of treatment. I have a bad sunburn from the treatment and a rash. Plus this week I have developed Lymphedema in my left arm. It isn't life threatening, but it can last over a long period of time. This condition involves swelling of the soft tissues of the arm or hand. The swelling may be accompanied by numbness, discomfort, and sometimes infection. I do have an infection in the arm, which I started an antibiotics on Friday. I will start physical therapy on the arm on the 27th and will have to wear a special sleeve. They will be keeping a very close eye on the Lymphema, if it gets any worse I will have to have an operation to have the fluid removed. I know that with God on my side he will take good care of me.

Thanks again for all the prayers, help and support everyone has given to my family. God will bless you for your kindness.

Love Always,
Renee

My 40th Birthday

Today is my 40th Birthday, I have had a really nice day. When I got to work this morning I had yellow Roses on my desk from Lena (Co-worker), and Robin and Pam (Co-workers) brought me a bag full of goodies. After I got off work, we took the kids to Open house at their school to meet their new teacher Mrs Bryant. When I got back from my radiation treatment, Steve and the kids took me to Olive Garden. It was our first time going and we all enjoyed our self. Stephanie and Steven wrapped me some presents (picture below) all by themselves today. Boy was I surprise, Steve was taken a shower and when he got out they had them all wrapped. My mom called and left me a message on the phone singing Happy Birthday. I think the kids enjoyed that more then me.... Thanks everyone for making my birthday so special.
