To all:
Someone that I used to be engaged to just recently found out she has cancer. F1 and Fish(John) met her and her son once when I brought them to FL one year.
1 massive tumor in her right lung, several lymph nodes, 3 small and 2 large tumors in her brain. We all have long suspected something going on in her head, but didn't quite imagine this much.
Last Sunday she had to be admitted to Allegheny General Neuro unit in critical condition for swelling of the brain. She's out now thanks to some drugs and steroids going to work on the swelling and attacking the tumors. She starts radiation treatments tomorrow, but when the they do the bone scan on Wednesday that may change things.. If it's in her bones, then theres nothing they can do. She decided to no go thru the rest of the treatments, but rather let things take its course(3months to 2years).
If you all didn't know, radiation and chemotherapy makes you sick as a dog. That and you lose your hair and teeth.. She figured she'd just enjoy whats left of her time feeling somewhat "okay".. The docs at the cancer clinic in Steubenville OH and Allegheny General in Pittsburgh, and the State of WV public welfare promised to make sure she got all the drugs she needed for free so that she wouldn't "hurt".
Right now we're all hoping and praying that its not in her bones. If you all are the religious type - I ask you to put a extra word in for "Teeny".
Her family just lost one of her brothers to a stroke(31yo) and their mom last may. No one on her dad's side lives past 54. Her family has a predisposition to heart problems and cancerous tumors. Her family, and myself, aren't taking this very well. If you don't see me online for several days on end - it might be due to me going down to help her out from time to time.
Please donate to the Cancer Society. And if you have long hair(10-12in) and plan on getting it cut - please donate it to Locks of Love or some other non-profit organization that makes wigs for cancer and burn victims. I will be cutting mine real soon for it.

Linda, one of the biker clubs in Weirton is trying to get a benefit run set up for sometime this summer. If you and your hubby happen to come up some time this year- be sure to hull up the trike as well. |
Thanks for the heads up but we wont be up that way till probably May of next year. We already have a cruise and two other weekend getaways planned for the rest of this year. Hope the poker run goes well. No doubt bikers have big hearts and generous wallets |

I am so sorry she is having to go through this. As a one year (almost) cancer survivor, I know how scary it is. If there is anything I can do for you or her family, please let me know, as I am not that far away!!! And just so you know, last April I cut off my long hair, and gave 22 inches to locks for love, it is a beautiful program!! Then I found out in June I had cancer, lucky for me I just had to do radiation so I did not lose my hair, I am currently growing it out again, so next year I can cut it off and give again!! I will be praying for you, her, and her family!!! _________________ I am the Spam Queen...
