4th Update

I am watching the inauguration of our next "President of the United States".

Haven't written in a while was waiting for more information on Surgery or Chemo which to do first. Surgery will be first followed by Chemo. I will not know until after the surgery if I will need radiation. Hopefully "God Willing" I will sail will give the phone number here in this message so that you all may call if you'd like to. through this coming out smelling like a rose. I will spend 1-2 days at Allenmore Hospital in Tacoma 253-459-6633 February 2. "GROUND HOGS DAY" I will have the nurses station give an update if you call. I have decided not to have visitors because I think I will be emotionally fried for a while. I don't see myself smiling so soon, but I will a few days later. I more than likely will not be answering the cell either. I'm sure I will be super drugged up.

I will admit I am a little nervous, but am trying to stay positive. I will be doing a chop chop on the hair, I have decided to cut to a short length and then cut again shorter in a week or two.This will allow me adjustment time because I do love that hair. My granddaughter will join me in the cutting ceremony. She is only cutting a few inches off, I'm taking the plunge. I did think about allowing her to cut my hair for me but I'm sure I will look as though the Chemo was first HA HA. I haven't cut my hair short since 1999, ten years ago. No laughing when you see me, no more pen in the hair, no more long hair dos. Will see maybe I'll get curly red hair sure hope not. If I get Grey I be devastated.

Mom is recovering just fine she starts therapy in a 2 more weeks. She can't wait to get out of that sling. I'm sure the first thing she'll do will be driving to the store. It too bad that my issues will begin as hers is ending. I don't at all look forward to laying in a bed even for a few days. Hope that I will be up and moving quickly.

We had some entertainment over the weekend. I rode a quad and will never do it again. Thought I was going to wet my pants, when my buddy Marvin decided to give me a ride because I wasn't driving fast enough. The more I begged to have him stop the faster he went laughing the whole time. It not or me, but I guess I can mark that off my list of things to do in my lifetime. I offered to take mother for a ride she opted out wonder why? Was she afraid of the photos or the ride itself? I'll leave the quading to the younger kids, I'll just keep my eyes closed.

I want to Thank everyone for all their support and prayers they really do work. I am so so happy with the team of doctors, they are wonderful. Keep all those doctors in your prayers also they are my partners right now. With the economy in such a disaster please just e-mail me best wishes for a speedy recovery. That will mean just as much to me. Thank you again for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Nancy

3rd Update

Hello,

Its me again. Just a shorty, going for a PET Scan Monday, that will be an overall picture of the bod. Because the surgeon and Chemo Dr are undecided as to the direction of treatment they will be having a Breast Conference next week with several Dr's to get insight as to a treatment plan. I think that is good news for me just knowing they care enough to give my case thought. I won't have an update again until the scan and conference are completed. I am looking for extras for the new movie I am producing called "The Final Nerve" Starring my husband Chuck Larsen. Extras aren't paid but you get quality time with the star Chuck Larsen. Credit will be given at the end for those who can handle Mr. Smarty Pants.Can you tell he is a little cooped up with a bunch of girls? The girls are out for winter break plus snow that = total insanity for me. Mom is feeling better, just a few more weeks in that sling that I catch her trying to sneak out of. Once again I have to scold her when she is misbehaving. Ain't keeping that Missy out of the kitchen oh no, all I have to do is tell her I'm calling Carolyn and she straightens right up. I can't very well ground her now can I? I know to she can't wait til until she is able to get in that car,she'll be out of here.Right now she gets field trips into town she gets so excited.Stacey fix her up this morning with a foot pedicure and massage, oh ye painted nails too.It doesn't take muck to make her smile. She is the bestest mom ever, I love her so much.

Nancy and Jean

1st update

Ok where do I begin? Mother has had her operation and is recovering on loads of drugs. I limit my communication with her because in the first three days sounded out there and I'm sure she needed that just to deal with the pain. Spoke with her on Sunday while I was on my way to church, she sounded so much more like herself. No I don't have her locked up, she staying with Carolyn and her family, so that she could receive some peace and quite while making it through the first few days. Its almost like her and I were separated just so that we can both focus on things. She is in good hands, Dewayne was "Grandma" sitting on Thursday while Carolyn was at work. I did over hear him tell her to bend over it was time for a temperature reading HA HA. Everyone pray for a speedy recovery for mother, were starving HA HA! She is such a special person. Christmas is a little offset this year, this is no what we all needed. But we will survive!!!!!! I have taken some time off from work so I could take care of this speed lump of mine. I tried to focus and work but it didn't work out I'll return in February, with the economy so screwed up whats the difference, It was a wash for me I was only working 20 hours a week. I have had the second biopsy, they took five samples two from lympnodes and three lumps, one is already tested and was positive for cancer in November. They want to check and see if the others are clean,HOPE HOPE for good results, hopefully I will get good results on Monday the 22ND. The blood test gene marker test came back and was negative thank the LORD! At least this is not passed to my sisters and my daughters, I am thankful for that. The DR. asked that I make a appointment with the plastic surgeon and have set that appointment up for the 29 of December. When I meet with the Dr after the samples come back, she will decide on the route of surgery. If I have to remove my little friends, I will just adjust. I plan on sending my husband Chuck to the boo bee store, if he chooses double D's I will know he was never happy with the B's, boy he'll be caught in a lie. Just kidding..... He returned here Wednesday from AZ. It took him four days to get back normally it takes a day and a half. Boy was his a nervous wreck the weather was terrible. Then to come back and deal with all this stuff, hope the lord blesses him. The kids are doing ok. They are out for winter break and got an early start due to the 8" of snow we received. I should be making snow angels on Dad and Danielle's grave doesn't that sound fun? The holidays kinda are weird due to all the things going on. Enjoy this family photo getting it was like as they say pulling teeth. I should have spiked the punch with Prozac, HA HA. Will keep you posted. Lots of love Nancy We may not always realize
that every thing we do,
affects not only our lives,
but touches others, too.

For a little bit of thoughtfulness
that shows someone you care,
creates a ray of sunshine
for both of you to share.

Yes, every time you offer
someone a helping hand,
you show a friend,
you care and understand.

Every time you have
a kind and gentle word to give,
you help someone find beauty
in this precious life we live.

For happiness brings happiness
and loving ways bring love,
and giving is the treasure
that contentment is made of.

Thank you!
