Hello everyone,
We just found out this afternoon that Sandy will be released Friday (today) evening 7-16-2010 from Torrance Harbor Medical. She will be coming back home with us for the time being. Her condition is still the same, but this is what the doctor has decided. Sorry if you were planning on visiting Sandy, we thought she was going to stay until Monday.

We were at the hospital for over 24 hours waiting and seeing lots of different doctors before we were told what was going on with Sandy. They took a CAT scan that showed lots of swelling which means the tumor is growing back. Most of the doctors have told me that Sandy has a 12 months at the most to live. Although there were some who said that they will not put a time on how long Sandy lives and want to try a couple more medications. One doctor did say it could be 1 to 2 years. I'm sorry I didn't have better news to be giving you right now. I've admitted Sandy into Harbor UCLA in Torrance for a few day. They'll continue to do tests and help me to figure things out. After that, if things go the way I'd like them to, she'll come back home with me. Please go and visit her if you are able. She's on the 4th floor, East, room 13D. One more thing, Sandy does not know that the tumor has grown back or any of the details. I believe in positive thinking doing wonders for the body so as far as she knows, she's there to get some tests done but everything is okay. Thanks again for all the love and support. I'm going to be leaving for the hospital pretty soon. I'll try to keep up with the blog as much as possible and try to keep everyone informed.

Hi everyone,
About a day before Sandy's last doctor's appointment which was on June 29th, Sandy started having a little harder time walking and seemed to be a little off balanced. The doctor felt it could be from her out patient physical therapy not starting yet. Since then she has continued to get a little worse every day. In the last couple of days her thought process and her speech seems to be getting worse also. Her next appointment is on the 27th of this month but we're making lots of phone calls today to see if we can get her in earlier. I've e-mailed her Oncologist doctor for advise and he told me that the kind of tumor Sandy has is very bad and is at stage 4. Although they did get all the tumor out, the bed that the tumor lived in still remains and that alone can cause the tumor to grow back. Of course everyone including the doctors felt that there was plenty of time before the tumor would grow back since the last time it took 12 years. I'm not sure what's going on with Sandy yet and I'm definitely not giving up! I will be posting a new blog everyday to keep everyone informed of how Sandy's doing. Thank you for all the e-mails that have been sent. Please keep them coming, it really lifts her spirits.
