Cancer isn't a Battle, It's War

The last four days have been emotional, physical and spiritual. I think that pictures for now may tell the most accurate account of what it's been like.

First battle--- getting me to wear a hospital gown! Yall know how much I despise them



How to get me to wear paper shoes




Ready to go! Paper Shoes and All!






Mama gets pinned with the official carcinoid zebra. She was already wearing her  Fight  Like A Girl Button

This was the beginning of a Sandostatin treatment. It would be alot at once. I had been warned that it would be tough... it was.



No one fights alone



Mama reminded me to Fight Like A Girl! She had to remind herself to do the same.

Dark is the night but I can weather the storm, I'll never give up, never give in, 

Never lose hope, never lose faith

Me with my cousin Paul, right before surgery.

Last words before surgery, "Don't Forget my Boys" 

A Promise Given: We Won't








First words after surgery "Where's Mama"

Mama, "What's my Blood Pressure?"

No stoppin now, I won't let you down





First post-op day

Mama carried her Carcinoid bags with her everywhere

We never quit

These green things are as horrible as the look on my face

Talking to the boys for the first time.

Time to Walk

Did I mention I hate hospital gowns

Respiratory, I think she knew I might take that from her and hit her with it

Who Dat





I'm ready to watch the game.And my wine is IV. 

This tailgaitin hospital style!

Dr. Beaudreaux came too!

Had to walk again during the half-time





My nurse Naomi! She was great! She dressed for the game for me!

 My fight isn't over, but I am raised up every day through the prayers and care of everyone at home. I would't be who I am without all of you. Thank You. I will not give up, I will continue to fight this thing ... and we will win!
