Living Life for Lans

Unfortunately the good days were numbered to 2. Her bowel has continued to shut down and then get a little better and then shut down again over and over again. They think it is because the heavy narcotics in the pain killers. So they put her on pain killers without narcotics and she is in so much pain - in her pelvis, femur and back.

They were supposed to start the high dose chemo yesterday, but the doctor said she wasn't strong enough right now she wouldn't survive. So Ben is just worried sick, with the rest of us, that they aren't doing anything for her. Her tumors continue to grow and pain worsen, but they can't give her the chemo. Our poor girl is just getting so small. She's not able to eat. Ben has been spoon feeding her puree fresh fruit smoothies to get some nutrition. Cancer sucks.

But truly their is opposition in all things, with this horrible disease in our girls body their has been a tremendous outpouring of love. We are looking to raise money for the naturopathic medicine after the stem cell transplant or sooner if they can't do anything for her at Del Webb. My cousin is looking to host a zumba marathon to raise money for Lans and her co-worker emailed this morning and has raised $1000 selling lymphoma bracelets. People are amazing.
