Prayers and good vibes for Winter Marie UPDATE by WM 8/26/14

Winter Marie,

You are in my thoughts and prayers.  You are such an amazing person and loved so much.  Wish I could give you a hug in person.  Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hugs,

Sara

I've had quite the time. I was hospitalized last Monday and tonight I should be getting out since home health/nurse care has finally been approved.

I received two blood transfusions (from losing blood thanks to the 6cm newest tumor in colon) 6 potassium, 6 magnesium and a few other goodies to bring me back to life.  I was not in good shape, walking from my bedroom to my living room required great amount of effort that I soon gave up on.  Thank goodness Doc took a look at me and sent me to hospital.  He suggested I send for my loved ones (my daughter flew out from Ohio)he said he still had hope but things were not looking good.  

I have been on TPN all week which is what has been keeping me alive, because of tumor in colon eating/pooping doesnt do well. I now weigh 110 pounds and have that scary cancer look of skin and bones, no clothes fit, I have to hold my pants up.

But feeling much better today, I now get 5FU and Oxi once a week, doc hopes to get liver tumors (two are now size of baseballs) that they can remove the tumor in colon which is causing me such problems.

So still fighting and still here.

Thwnk you so much for words of encouragement, well wishes and prayers.  I truly appreciate them

Feel better.

Please get well soon.....when you can eat, poop and pee, you're way ahead of the game.

You are such a strong person, Winter.  I hope you are home and regaining strength now to stay in the fight.  I'm glad your doc still has a plan for you.
