So, I am sorry that I have not updated the blog in two weeks. To be quite honest there was nothing positive to report and I was having a hard time with that. When Carolyn went to Maryland they determined that she would not be eligible for treatment at NIC. They also dramatically cut her life expectancy to 8 weeks. Last week as a final effort Carolyn received her first Chemo treatment. Which, in turn caused her much sickness. She went into the hospital Sunday night and is experiencing liver failure. At this time we are in a palliative care situation. Carolyn is at peace in her heart and it ready to return to the Creator. Please hold peace in your heart, knowing that she is happy. We are at Mass General and will be until the end.
I would also like to take a moment to share my overwhelming thanks to Carolyn's friend Douglas who has stood by her, lovingly and taken excellent care of Carolyn on a 24/7 basis. I will forever be grateful to him for the love and care he has shown my sister through these difficult times. Thank you forever.
I will update the blog with service information and will continue to post reflections of my experience loosing my sister and the fight against cancer.
Carolyn remains strong and is still such a fighter, but looks like in the end cancer will win this battle.
Thank you all for you support.
Love, Val
