Work Hard Play Hard

Today was beautiful. Danny helped me practice my writing and reading. We took in some sunshine at the beach to relax. Heaven.

The Fundraiser

I am so grateful for the GoFundMe account that our friends set up. They started it because I stopped my treatments because of lack of funds, and possibly because of my lapse, I had to do another brain surgery on March 3rd 2017 (Dan's birthday). We were grateful that our neurosurgeon was able to remove the brain tumor areas, but unfortunately the tumor started growing back within a few months. We are actively pursuing treatments, but haven't been able to find the right fit yet to stop the tumor growth. We appreciate your donations, they have made it possible to try out-of-the-box treatments, and they also give us piece of mind. Sometimes the fear can be overwhelming, but your support reminds me that I'm surrounded with love. So thank you from my heart!

Thank You Note

I read every single comment I receive on the blog and I'm incredibly grateful to receive them! I don't always have the opportunity to respond to all of my comments and emails, but I appreciate the support very much. Thank you for checking out my blog. It's incredibly therapeutic for me, and I hope you find my story helpful.
