Healing and Stronger Every Day..

Lisa has now been home from the hospital for about a week now and is healing everyday from her cervical neck surgery.  Now comes the challenge of waiting on oncology reports, looking into research trials, and meetings with current and new oncologists.  Lisa's cancer strategy will include anything and everything under the sun to bring strength and wellness (we know Lisa)![...]

Lisa resting at home now!

Hi Friends,

Lisa went home today and is working on resting comfortably after her brutal second surgery.  She felt like she's been "to hell and back" but grateful that her broken neck is now stabilized and she's ready to start healing from the surgery and while at the same time fighting her cancer.  Lisa's breast cancer from 12 years ago has metastasized to her neck, rib and chest bone.  She just completed another round of tests and hopes to have her treatment plan soon.  As you can imagine (and if you know Lisa) she is ready to be in the solution and get on her path to healing![...]

Lisa's Second Surgery Update

Hi Friends,

Lisa had a successful second surgery today and is now out of ICU and recovering in her hospital room.  She is at Porter Hospital and expected to be there at least 4 more days.  She spent the evening with David and her mother Linnie. While Lisa is doing as well as can be expected, she's in a lot of pain after this very extreme surgery, to insert and stabilize the rods in her neck. She will have an intense 12 weeks of therapy and healing on her neck. Her doctors will be doing a lot more testing in the next week or so, and then we will have more information about the course of cancer treatment they are contemplating.  [...]

Lisa's Story

Dear Friends,

This site has been created to provide updates on the status and recovery of our friend Lisa.  Last week, Lisa received the unfortunate news that cancer has returned.  Lisa had been dealing with neck pain and when the traditional remedies did not work, she had an MRI that showed a break in her neck due to cancer in cervical C5 and C6.  Lisa will have two surgeries on her neck and a battery of tests this week to determine the next steps for her cancer treatment.[...]
