Hello to the 345 people who love Kristine and are on this site!!! The comments of support and love are simply amazing. Keep them coming!

Here’s the latest update from her Mom:

Mille who??  When Kristine was in the hospital for 28 days and even going way back to the beginning of this journey when the first biopsy was done, the doctors could not figure out what the mass was.  So, in the absence of a diagnosis, what do you do? You name it!!  Millie-The-Mystery-Mass was born.  We continue to call her by name even as we are serving her with eviction papers.

Kristine came home and finally was able to start the treatment of her choice.  Last week was round one.  The first 3 days were tough.  I asked God to help her endure the nausea, vomiting and pain and she slept for 3 days – thank you God!!  Day 4 Kristine was more talkative and by day 5 internal combustion began!  Uncontrollable gas along with many other signs that our dear Millie was deconstructing herself.

She had two days off where her body continued to work hard to adjust to the treatment.  Today is day 3 of round two of the peptide and with the help of IV Vitamin C three times a week and daily glutathione, her symptoms are becoming more tolerable and Kristine’s spunky personality, determination and warrior attitude are beginning to shine through the discomfort.

We know TIME is difficult to come by these days and we are grateful for you taking some of your precious time to send messages of encouragement and love.

I will continue to provide you all with updates as often as I can.

Love,

Mary Ann

    Kristine, We are praying that Millie leaves your body and that you are completely healed. Our God the Great Physician can do this and your determined spirit and faith will fight! Rick and I are joining you all at 9:30 to pray. I am praying that God will continue to let your beautiful smile and bubbly personality shine through even now that Millie can't rob you or your family of that. Jeni

    Thanks, Mary Ann, for the update. I am thinking of you, too, today. Nothing worse than seeing your little girlie in pain and enduring all she has. You are a caretaker, extrordinaire!❤️ Now, a note to Millie- if you haven't noticed, a lot of people really love Kristine. It's time for you to move on and let her get back to being healthy. So, carry on, Kristine, continue to fart that bad ass outta ya! Oh, and by the way, my alarm to remind me to pray for you yesterday, went off during Miss Saigon 😂 I was so tempted to scream out, "hold on everyone, just take a second to pray for my friend!" But, alas, I chickened out...Love you!!!

    Dear Kristine, The light of love shines through those beautiful eyes of yours and that light is God's love. Take care of your body as best you can, keep it strong and nutrient filled and take rest knowing that you are surrounded by God's earth angels as well as those standing guard over you. Much love coming your way from even those that don't know you!!! <3
