August 25th

Hi everyone, the blog has been causing me some trouble lately, but it is sorted out now. Lillian is taking the third treatment today and seems to be doing remarkably well. Her spirits are high and that is half the battle. She seems to have stabilized physically and can't wait to get back to her usual self. The sooner the better... Norman's cooking can't be doing her any good. Anyway, i hope all is well with those who follow the progress, we appreciate the support. Brandon

Round 2

Sorry we haven't updated lately, but Lillian spent yesterday and today in the hospital getting her 2nd round of chemo. She did very well. She is home now resting, although she keeps asking when she can get back on her treadmill... The doctors are amazed at her response to the meds, and that is a very good thing. thanks again everyone for your support, she really appreciates it. All our love and thanks, Brandon, Jennifer, Devin & Sydney

First Step- - Treatment Has Started!!

Updates headed North today !! As mentioned Lillian hadc a kidney holdup, but that seems to be ok for the to\ime being. They therefore started chemo today just after lunch. She seems to have responded well so far. Thanks again to all. Jen

Welcome To Lillian's Site-Keep hope in our hearts

Hi all-
This site is being created to keep up-to-date on my Mother's progress in her fight against cancer. Lillian has joined many others in their personal fights against this spreading problem affecting families everywhere, every day.

She received a diagnosis last week that sent her to treatment for an agressive , stage 4 Non- hodgkins lymphoma and will begin Chemo on Wednesday,and for the next two months. After that initial treatment, an evaluation will be done to test the effiiecacy of the battery of chemo, and then more aggressive treatment may become necessary.

I wanted to share this with you as you have touched Lillian as I hope she has touched you. She needs your help and support now more than ever.

I will update this site weekly -but ask a favor... say a prayer, check in on this site and send her best wishes for a speedy recovery here, and we'll pass it on to her ...

Many have already sent kind words and we all appreciate the support we have recieved thus far - you have made us all know we are not alone.

Much love
