As many of you know Kelly was diagnosed with breast cancer last April. In fact it was the day we moved here that Jess told us they had found a lump and were waiting to hear more.
Kelly started chemo right away, a couple times a week for 12 weeks or so. The details may not be exact but pretty close. She tolerated it pretty well. She always had such a positive attitude about it and was happy to still go do things. Ill try and post some pictures of the cancer walk that she walked in. ( she out walked all us us). She lost all her hair and was so cute in her bandanas.
Then in October she had her double mastectomy. And right after started her radiation. She finished up her radiation in February, just in time to watch the Seahawks win the Super bowl. We even had a big party at Jess and Kelly's house.
She was really tired after all her radiation treatments and wasn't feeling well .But she went back to work and would work a couple hours. She still was not feeling well and got really sick. Throwing up and dehydrated. After a few days Jess took her back into the Dr. They did a MRI and were told that there was something on it and to come back in in a few days and that they were going to do a spinal tap. They did the spinal tap and confirmed that she did had cancer cells in her brain.
SO that is where we are at.
Is all happened 2 weeks ago. As you can imagine it has been a whirl wind couple of weeks for Jess and Kelly.
Jess loves to talk, we all know that, but he is exhausted and it is hard for him to keep re- tailing the story to everyone. So we are going to try and keep this blog up so you can check back here and see how she is doing.
Kelly has started radiation again and they put it right into her brain, and stomach. This time it makes her very sick and if she sits up for very long at all she has seizures. The Drs. have put her on Seizure medication but she still is having them.
She went and saw the neurosurgeon today and they will be putting a port into her head on April 4, so that she can start chemo. She will have her last dose of radiation next Tuesday. There is no word on how long all this will go on, until its gone they said... hopefully not to long.
Im sure that I have left out a lot of details, Ill try and get them right so that we can all be informed.
Kelly did ask for a blessing when this last bout of cancer was found and Judd and Ben were able to do that for her. It was a very neat experience. Jess' back yard neighbor just happens to be the old Stake president and so that is really nice to have him so close. Him and his wife have been really great to check in on them and so have the missionaries.
The kids are handling it pretty well. Rachel is really close to her mom and hates to leave her. We have had her come to our house and sleep over and she never wants to come and cant wait to go home. Logan knows that Kelly is sick but he is only 3, so he is still excited to come and visit. We will be having the kids come and stay with us and other family member's more. My mom is taking a leave from work to come over and help as well.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Ill try and get the info from Jess. He isn't on facebook much but would love to hear from you. Kelly updates her facebook every so often though.
Keep them in your prayers and thoughts. We sure love them and it sucks that they are going through this.
Ill keep ya posted
