KYA Hoedown


This is who I am fighting for

    Well, the Dear Cancer, I am going to Kick Your Ass  Love, Sara event is in full swing.  November 3,  2012.  The  team has secured a place, the Annex building behind the Army Surplus store.  People have come out of the woodwork to volunteer sevices, door prizes, graphic design, cash in the mail, {yes, cash in the mail}, caterers, raffle items, kegs, wine and a full bar, taxi service, etc.  and.... the Miah Kohal Band!
    The outpouring of support is overwhelming.  It will be the event of the season also to show appreciation to everyone who have allready done so much.  The  team is fine tuning the details which I will post here. There will be a formal announcement posted in  flyers, radio, newspaper ads.




    Sara saw Dr. Park yesterday and was released to Dr. Lin, who she will see today and determine what trearment to do next. Dr. Park is pretty certain she will require another surgery after she is fully recovered from this last one. We can only hope and pray that will not be necessary.
      The cancer research and treatment for 2012 is done, so whatever the treatment will be, it has to be available now.  When I hear from her and Shanna, I will post again today.

    “Ok, here’s the deal.  Fast growing tumors, need to take them down.  My bone marrow has normalized and blood count is normal, so will start IV chemo and oral ASAP.  It is a weekly regime that he wants here in Seattle to keep an eye on blood work since it is high grade tumors and want to make sure there aren’t any new ones popping up or spreading. ALMOST made history, stupid cancer! As Erin puts it, “How Rude!” Will wait to hear my first treatment date.  Will still fight for Affinator, as he wants to use that as a maintenance drug for the low grade cancer cells, which today’s doctor lesson taught me are the engines that feed the high grade ones.”
