An Update from Tricia

Tricia asked me to write this post for her (it's Tasha).

Tricia has been at the hospice for a while and so if you haven't heard much from her, you'll know why.  She still needs a lot of quiet time, so if you feel like communicating with her, posting to her blog is best.  Marie is with her much of the time and will read the messages to her when she's up for it.

Thank you for all of your positive thoughts!

New Reality

I saw my oncologist yesterday and she told me that continuing chemo will cause my body more harm than good.  Based on my fatigue and quality of life, she feels it is time to rely on palliative care only.  My plan has always included hospice which is where my friend Ryan spent his last weeks.  We are coming to terms with this news and will make plans in the next few weeks.

Thank you for your continued offers of help and support.  Right now between my parents, Brandon and Tasha (who is writing this for me now), I have all that I need and all that I have the energy to manage.  I do want to thank you for continuing to send me your positive thoughts and prayers, I will continue to need those over the upcoming weeks.
