Sandy's Dr's Appointment
Hi everyone,
Sorry it's been taking me so long to update the blog. Hopefully things will be settling down a bit around here soon and I'll be able to keep up with it better.
I know everyone's been waiting to hear how Sandy's been doing. We had doctor's appointments on Monday and yesterday to see if Sandy would be able to receive radiation or not. The doctors have decided that it would be too dangerous for her since she had so much after the first surgery. She will be starting chemo probably in a week or two and I believe it will be in pill form. Besides that, Sandy has a very positive attitude and does her exercises every day. I've been printing out all the e-mails that have been coming in and I read them all to Sandy. It always puts a smile on her face so please keep them coming! I'll make sure they all get to her. Thanks again to everyone for all the love and support. Here's a short video of Sandy. tawnda@verizon.net

Update on Sandy
Hi everyone,
Sorry it's been so long since the last update. It's been a little crazy around here lately. Sandy's doing good, just a little frustrated at the speed of her recovery. I have no news on her radiation and chemo yet. Her doctor went out of town so we had to re-schedule her appointment for June 29th. I was hoping to attach a little video of Sandy with this blog entry but she wasn't feeling up to it today. She said maybe tomorrow and if so, I'll be posting another blog tomorrow! She did want me to tell all of you thank you for all the love and support you've been giving her. She misses you all very much. I know it's kind of far away, but if anyone wants to come visit you are all welcome! Just call or send me an e-mail to let me know when. My number is (310) 480-7514 and e-mail is tawnda@verizon.net. Thank you again to all of you!

Friday's Dr.'s Appointments
Hi everyone,
We had two appointments on Friday. The first was with the radioligist to see if she would be able to receive radiation and the second was with the Oncologist (basically her primary doctor through all of this). The radioligist has refused to do radiation on Sandy, he thinks it's too dangerous due to the radiation she received 12 years ago. The Oncologist wants to start Sandy on chemo and refuses to give up on the chance that she can get radiation also. He's a good doctor! I'm making phone calls and trying to find medical records that would explain in detail exactly what kind of radiation Sandy received the first time. After the doctor has those in his hands, he'll make a decision on whether she can receive more radiation or not. Sandy's continuing to get stronger. We do physical therapy exercises for both her brain and her body every day. Her balance is getting better, she took a couple of steps by herself yesterday! Thanks again for everyone's support and I will be posting again soon with more updates.

News From The Doctor
Hi everyone,
At the doctor's appointment today we found out that they were able to get ALL of the tumor out! The only thing that still needs to be removed is what they call the "bed" which is where the tumor lived inside Sandy's brain. On Friday we'll find out if Sandy will be able to have radiation to try and get rid of this. If they can, it can stop the tumor from growing back. I know Sandy won't be ready for the Haunt this year, except for maybe a "Sandy Night" if possible, but if all goes well, she'll be ready for Haunt 2011!

Sandy's Getting Stronger!
Hi everyone,
Sandy has been home now for 4 days and she's doing great! We do a lot of physical therapy exercises throughout the day and they're definitely helping her to get stronger. This Wednesday we have a doctor's appointment where we should find out more details about how successful the surgery was. We'll find out how much of the tumor they couldn't remove and also how much radiation she will need. I'll be posting a new blog Wednesday evening to let everyone know what we find out. When you have a chance, please check out Christine's (Syren's) on-line store. She is donating a portion of all sales on her site to Sandy. Her link is: http://www.getmailled.etsy.com/ Thank you to everyone for all the love and support that you've been giving. I know it's helping Sandy get better much much quicker!
