Hey everyone...quick update!

It's been a challenging weekend and beginning of the week--pain was kicking my butt and I was frustrated by what seemed like a slow response to the chemo. My tumor was just persistent and it was pushing on everything in my abdomen. But slowly this week I started to feel better and today I feel great! Pain is finally going away and things are starting to behave normally in my gut!

More importantly, today is the day I get my CAR T cells! This is a huge day, and as all the doctors and nurses and incredible folks on my treatment team keep reminding me, this day (hopefully) marks the beginning of the rest of my life!! I need everyone's prayers and positive energy today. I know these cells are gonna get to work right away fighting this disease and this is gonna be the treatment that cures me!!! Please help the universe push that through with your strong, positive and loving energy...

Thank you all so much!!!

Sorry to mention this...I wasn't gonna say anything because I really can't imagine you all (my friends and family) being any more generous than you already have been! Your support has been surreal to me. And frankly it's incredibly embarrassing to be this vulnerable...

But I'm also laying in a hospital bed, at 6am, fighting pain from a tumor, awaiting chemo and CAR T treatment and my biggest concern is this:

While we are getting closer and closer to having our September rent, our landlord has started the eviction process and if we don't find a way to have September rent paid by the end of this weekend then they will post October rent as well and we will then need to come up with NOT ONLY September rent but also October rent in order to avoid an eviction. I've literally begged them for some leniency on this since I believe (have faith) that we will find a way to get September rent in the next couple weeks. But they've explained that if they made an exception for us they would have to bend the rules for everyone in my situation. Again, while coming up with September rent is likely manageable, I have no idea how to come up with both September AND October rent from a hospital bed in the next couple weeks.

I don't know why I'm sharing this extremely personal information except that I've only made it through the last year of this cancer battle by venting to you all, leaning on your love and support, letting go of any fragment of pride I once had, and not trying to go at this alone!

So I guess I'm leaning again and asking you all to please share my gofundme, reach out to your network, offer up and ideas or thoughts you might have on how we get through this last stretch! I'll take advice, encouragement...whatever. I'm not asking you all to give because you always have and always do when you can. But if we can, once again, extend our reach here maybe we can get through this crazy situation. I feel like I'm so damn close to the finish line!

Thanks for hearing me out.

Good morning to all my wonderful friends and family. Thank you all for the continued love and prayers...

For those that don't know, I'm in Presbyterian St. Luke's hospital waiting to start what they call Lymphocyte Depleating Chemo. We've been waiting to rule out any infections as the cause of my fevers--blood cultures should come back today to confirm we are all good! This means chemo SHOULD start today! At that pace, I'll get me CAR T cells on Wednesday!!!

Please send BIG prayers and positive energy my way (as I know you always do)...God/Universe willing, chemo should mean some relief from the tumor pain in my gut and CAR T SHOULD mean zapping this pesky cancer out of my body entirely!!!

Update...

Ok to say it's been a rough couple days is an understatement! First, the pain in my gut came back with a vengeance Monday night--couldn't sleep and got maybe 2 hours of sleep. I had to be at the hospital all day Tuesday for a bunch of tests, so with next to no sleep me and Allie Ziegler made our way to the hospital for a 7 hour day!

My scans went fine, but my PICC line placement was aweful! They couldn't get the line in, they couldn't get it to flush, it was a bit painful and then to top it all off, it wouldn't stop bleeding...it took an hour to get the bleeding to stop. They finally did and we went home exhausted and beat down.

Then around 9pm or so I started getting the chills and shakes and I spiked a temp of 102.5. With all my risk of infection it meant I had to go to the ER, so I spent the night here at Presbyterian St. Luke's.

Good news is that there is no sign of infection so I think I'm ok...but I got another really long day of chemo today.

I know I'm gonna be ok and will get through it, but it's been a really rough few days and I could use your prayers, positive thoughts and strong, healing energy!

Update...

So the week started off rough. The chemo did not do much on that pesky tumor and it was causing a pretty significant amount of pain. I spent alot of time meditating, breathing through the pain and acknowledging it but not giving it too much space. Pain is interesting because it's a significant part of the human experience and thanks to evolution and technology, we are able to avoid it in most circumstances. When we can't avoid it we are forced to acknowledge it and recognize that like all things, it is temporary and WILL pass.

I prayed on it and thank God, I was able to not only get comfortable in the pain but also was able to get a prescription for Dexamethazone (strong steroids) which I started yesterday! They worked immediately and that tumor started to shrink up. I finally feel some relief and that pain is going away. I'm able to eat again and am feeling an extra burst of energy.

As another blessing it looks like my CAR T cells are coming in sooner than expected so I will start the preparation for my CAR T infusion. Next week will be a LONG week and I get yet another central line put in. This time a PICC line. I think at this point I will have had every type of central line available. I will also get three days of six hour chemo infusions to suppress my lymphocytes so they don't reject my new CAR T modified white blood cells. Then on Monday, Oct. 2nd I will check in to the hospital for a week long stay and to get my CAR T cells. I'll keep you all posted...please keep me in your prayers and thoughts, send me positive energy and if you have it to give, give the gofundme a boost--we are scrambling to pull rent together and It would suck to come out of the hospital and face an eviction--and yes, our landlord has zero qualms about evicting us even in knowing what we are dealing with. We already have notice! Sorry to ask...I just have to lean on you all through this battle! Thanks for the constant love and support...
