We are saddened to say that we did not get the results that we were hoping for. The cancer continues to spread in my liver and in my back and some still in my chest area. Numb is a good description of how we feel. Today is a new day and I have a bit of a better perspective on things.
The plan as of now is to do nothing but enjoy some plans that have already been made. Hal and I are renewing our wedding vows on September 6th. It is our ten year anniversary and we thought it most appropriate considering circumstances. If you are reading this then you are invited to come and join us. My brothers and their kids along with Grace and I are flying down to Florida to watch the Gators play in the swamp. Nothing like seeing a game there I tell ya! So I plan to enjoy the next few weeks and do all that i can and then it's back to work on killing this cancer.
My doctor once again gave me a list of treatments to try and like Hal says it's like playing spin the bottle when it comes to choosing. Most of the stuff she recommended is some really hard core stuff but I guess if we want to start getting down and dirty then that's what I'll do.I am scheduled to return to treatment on sept. 16th. To be truthful, I feel like giving up sometimes that I cannot possibly keep doing this but when I look into my girls eyes then i know that i can do it. I don't want them to ever ask why mom gave up.

"Give up" those are words that no one dare accuse you of. You are a tower of strength, courage, love, faith and wisdom. Zoe and Grace know this and have inherited those characteristics from their mom.
Ann - I don't know what to say, but totally agree with Susan. She put it perfectly with her words.
Praying for you and your family and your doctors.
Don't give up! My family and I are praying for you.

I love you friend...you've fought so hard, I know you will continue to fight with all you have. Don't ever stop looking into those girls' eyes!
Those girls are truly your inspiration! And Hal too. You've been an amazing example of faith, hope, strength, love, generosity, inspiration, and joy for your girls. Ann, you are nothing short of incredible. You're always in my prayers, Anna
Well drat! I will add extra laps and say the rosary twice! Booker will be exhausted, but he wants you to have a miracle too. We love you.
I truly do not know what to say. You have fought such a positive, inspirational fight against this cruel disease. Please don't give up-I know you can beat this! Congratulations on your 10th anniversary! I wish I could be there in person for your vow renewal. I will definitely be there in spirit. Much love and hope to you, Hal, Zoe, and Grace!
Love you,
Your Cousin Cheryl
