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

Today's update: Lillian was admitted to Greenwich Hospital this morning. She is having a bit of kidney trouble, so she has been placed in the ICU. With the help of a special medication, she should be ready for her treatment to begin tomorrow. Let's all pray that that first hurdle is cleared with ease. Her spirits are good, and she is looking stronger than yesterday. Last I saw her she was getting a foot massage. That's Lillian!! Please come back and leave any message you feel, we will pass them all along to her. Thank you everyone, Brandon
ReplyDeleteTwo quick notes for everyone. First, Lillian can not recieve flowers in the ICU. Second, today the 27th is Lillian's birthday.
