Labor Day weekend...

in Asheville! Sharon was released from St. Francis this afternoon. She and Tim are driving to Asheville to spend the long weekend at home. The radiation/chemo combo has been very draining and she's sleeping a lot. The body must repair itself even when kicking some cancer butt!

Sharon will be celebrating her birthday on Friday, September 5th.

It's a good life!

Resting at St. Francis

Sharon's in the hospital attending to the infection. The port was removed last night and some tests are being done to determine if it's causing the recurring infection.

Because she's so strong, radiation and chemo will continue while all the tests are completed! There's no stopping will-power, positive thinking, eastern medicine & western drugs! Sharon will prevail.

Making history!

Sharon's cancer tumor levels dropped dramatically since the last testing. The blood test revealed a level of 89; normal levels are 0-50. She's making history - and the oncologist has never seen results like this! Keep up the positive thoughts because they're working!

Shrink, tumor, shrink - and then disappear!!

Sharon's "back to her roots" with her '60s, fun-lovin' hair-do!


The treatment is going well after round 2. Now that she's "marked" for radiation, the 11am appointment only last a few minutes. That gives her the opportunity to rest afterward and enjoy the second half of the day. She's going shopping this afternoon for some funky earrings to match the hair!

Session 2, Round 1 - ding ding ding

The second session of attack began this morning in Greenville. Sharon started the chemo pump and daily radiation. This is a new chemotherapy drug that helps intensify the radiation. The goal is to continue thinning out the tumor and shrink it. It may last up to 6 weeks with Sharon and Tim occasionally spending weekends Asheville.

Let's KO this jerk of a tumor!

Relaxing in Asheville

Sharon was released from St. Francis yesterday in time to spend one night in the apartment! They drove back to Asheville to relax for the weekend. Then back to Greenville either Sunday or Monday to begin the regimen.

Delayed update...

Rather than begin the new chemo/radiation regimen on Monday, Sharon was admitted to St. Francis for observation and round-the-clock antibiotics. Her temp spiked to 104 and so the doctors chose the hospital. That dang infection!

Her spirits are up and her energy is rising.

Sharon & Tim have made it safely to Greenville and are getting settled in the new apartment. You can contact them via cell phone and email.
