Treatment # 6

Hi it's Nancy,
Wanda called me around 7pm and was so excited that treatment # six went well. She had so much joy in her voice it made me smile. She said she was so pumped that she only had TWO TREATMENTS left. I just thought I would share that wonderful news with you.
much love,Nancy

A STORY ABOUT WANDA

Hello,

My name is Nancy, I am Wanda's younger sister. I cannot say little sister as I am bigger than her. She got our moms cute little figure and I got dads tall and not so cute figure. Anyway, on with my story about my wonderful sister Wanda. I want to share how Wanda was so so supportive and caring during a difficult time in my life. I found out that I was pregnant in may of 2003 and Wanda was so happy for me.

During my pregnancy she checked on me all the time. When I was 26 week along I had to go on bed rest. Wanda stayed with me a lot of the time and sometimes on very little sleep. She went to appointments with me and just helped me so much. My complications continued and the baby was still born at 32 weeks. Wanda stayed at the hospital the entire time and only left to change clothes.
She helped me through my grieving process and provided so much support. On the the first year anniversary she wrote a special note in the newspaper about our precious little Allyson Grace that we never got the chance to know.

I just cannot say enough on how she was there for me during that time. I then became pregnant again in 2005 and on 1-25-06 gave birth to the Madie who is in the picture with Wanda on the chemo update post.

I just wanted to share how special Wanda is to me and how that I admire her so much.
She is being so strong during her difficult time and I hope that I can do for her what she did for me.
Love you, Nancy

Hello, my dear friends and family



I want to say thanks to each of you and I feel so blessed to have you guys in my life. I wanted to let you know that I am going for treatment # 6 of 8. I have lost all of my hair as you can see in the picture. However, It should start growing back after number 8.


I will start radiation after that five days a week for six and a half weeks. I really appreciate Andrea for making this blog for me. I really enjoy viewing my guest book and reading your comments. I cannot wait until I am able to work with the Hughes family again. I miss my little Luke sooooo much.


I want to thank my sister for helping me through this journey as well as my friends and family.


I want thank my son Kyle for being my rock as he has been there for me as my maid ,my cook and my nurse.


I love each of so much, Wanda
