Well, the decision was made. I am just finishing week3 of radiation treatments, 5 days a week. I have 2 weeks to go. I am taking it one day at a time, one step at a time. I'm praying for positive outcome. I have already undergone chemo treatments, and surgery. Praying a lot to keep strong. My 95 yr. old Mom, is doing well. Thank goodness. She is very precious to me. I try my best  to take care of her, and keep her happy. Love sharing music with her.  That's about it, for now. I do really need some financial assistance, especially now. Transportation is costly, as I need to take cab wherever I go, especially to my Mom's, errands, shopping for groceries, etc. Keep the faith. It's what gets us through., and keeps us going. God Bless all of you.

Well, it's been awhile since I've entered an Update. I had a 4 hr surgery on January 18th, and all the Cancer was removed, that can be seen with the naked eye. I'm feeling quite good, and I  am so thankful to my doctor, because things are going in a positive direction. My dilemma at present, is whether I will undergo Radiation treatments, as it is advisable to discourage cancer cells from growing back. but it is not a guarantee, that, there will not be a reoccurrence.   I will be talking with my doctor, soon, to weigh the positive effects, and get more clarification, of what to expect in the future., as far as posssible, & probable treatments, which will include  infusions, every 3 weeks for at least a year.  All, in all, I'm feeling pretty good, and am now able to visit my 95 yr. old mom. But, the decisions are weighing on me, quite heavily, at the moment. Decision making is quite intense!  We shall see, what materializes. In the meantime, I am living, on day at a time, & cherishing each precious moment. Not sure, what I will decide, yet. I will be discussing my options, with my doctor, very soon.  I am singing, practicing at home again. It feels great! And I am enjoying all the simple joys of life. Taking a short walk,  and looking up at a heavenly blue sky, & feeling the cool breeze upon my cheek. Going to my favorite Donut shop, inhaling the sweet aroma of freshly baked donuts, and anticipating how yummy they will be.  I don't take anything for granted anymore. I enjoy talking with my friends, and I am thankful for each & every one of them. And family, is so more appreciated these days. To hear a familiar voice, embrace a warm smile, as the brilliant warmth of sunshine, touches my heart, & lifts my spirit to new heights.  Look for the positive, & you'll  surely catch a glimpse, even through the clouds, that sometime hover above, through life. Touch a heart, embrace the light, Let go, Let God. For he is there beside you, every step of the way, on this Journey, called "Life." When the time is right, I believe I will receive some Financial assistance, that I am in need of, to cover additional expenses, that have incurred along the way, because of my illness. But, most important, I am on the Road to recovery, in health, & spirit. God Bless everyone. Keep the Faith!  Believe in yourself, 'cause God believes in you. May sunshine & rainbows, follow you, along the path of your life. Never give up, keep going, be strong, with God holding your hand. Remember, he left his "footprints in the sand", when he carried you through life's challenges, and "He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light." God Bless.

Just had major surgery last Thursday, January 18th, to attempt to get rid of, whatever cancer remains. Not sure at this point, if they removed all traces, and got it all.  I am waiting for some pathology results, and then my doctor will review with me,  and plan the best strategy, for my well being. So, at least, I'm done with 6 Chemo-treatments, 2 procedures, and major surgery, This is what I have come through so far, and left behind. And now, I look to the future. What lies ahead? Only time can tell. It has been almost 8 months, since first being diagnosed with Cancer, last June. But, I am once again, getting out in the world, trying to be as productive, as I can be, at this stage of the game. Trying to be supportive, to my sister, caring for my precious mom, who is now, 95 yrs. old. She is such a blessing, and so very dear to us.  Trying to stay strong, and rise above the turbulent waters. I have met such caring, compassionate people, who I will never forget, because, they have truly made a difference in my life, and have touched my heart, leaving a deep imprint on my heart. So forward I go, into the vast unknown frontier, called, Life!  Right now, I am recovering from the surgery, and I get a bit worn out, but my spirit is always willing, to venture to the best of my ability. with the God given strength, that heaven has bestowed upon me. I am thankful for the many blessings of life. Precious, and golden, is every  moment of life, we share with family, friends, and the good people we meet, on this Journey, throught our lives. I hope that you can find it, in your hearts, to help me out, during these challenging days, in which my money belt, to pay bills, is lighter than usual, due to over-the-counter medications ( needed after surgeries, & treatments), transportation, & essential items needed, which are necessary to healing. I have required a lot of rest  in the past, due to being so ill,  but now,  I am eager to resume  a more productive, and healthy life, in which I can achieve my goal, of inspiring others, through my experience, and music. I will keep you updated, as far as surgery results, and what's on the agenda, on the road, to a full recovery. God Bless everyone, in whatever you may face, and know that God is right beside you. It is now, that he is carrying you, through the tough terrain, and he will place you steadily on the ground, when you are ready, to stand strong, equipped for life, with Hope, Faith, & God Almighty, by your side.  So, know now, that Angels are watching us, everywhere we go, every place we roam. God Bless.
