Found this...had not seen it before!!!




Posted on IG 12/28/2015. Christmas 2015.

Personal note: “Oh, happy day!” Yesterday, I posted a 2012 picture of them. Thrilled that I now have a current one for my dash.

Thank you Meryl and Merry Christmas to you too!

Hope your Grandson and his Mum are on the mend already, CEK.    Waiting to hear from April about the progress  Keeping my fingers crossed. 

As always thanks for the updates, CEK.  Interesting news!  Not sure what to think of Kym judging.  On the access episodes last season, she continuously interrupted the main host without adding anything new or interesting.  Sorry to the Kym fans.  I normally have a soft spot for the Australian contingent.

hi guys, well yesterday was a very long day.....I took her in the early morning to have her Pet scan......we thought it would be next week before we had her disease progression appointment and heard the results, but last night her Doc called me and he had already seen the scan results.....and well.....this is soooooooo hard to say but the cancer has grown....it is still just in her chest though...but this is not good news......they are going to have a meeting of the board of Doctors on monday or possibly tuesday to go over her case and talk about options then we will go in for an appointment and discuss the options and make decisions of where to go from here.....he did say they would be wanting to test my son to see if he would be a match for her for a bone marrow transplant.....he said that would probably not be their first course of action but that they want to have a donor lined up just in case.......guys this has been a rough one to hear......we really thought this would be the time we would be able to say it's gone completely and be celebrating with you all so much and instead......well.....it's back....one of the first things that I asked them was if having to hold her chemo for so long could have  given an opportunity for a few cells to grow back.....and he said no, that unfortunately he thinks it's the other way around.....he thinks the cancer growing back was what was keeping her counts down not the chemo.......we are all  just still processing all of our emotions about this, but are staying positive and will keep fighting as long as we have too and trusting that its in God's hands.......I will know much more after our meeting next week and will let you all know then....but please keep us all in prayer ......(((((hugs and holding tightly to all of your hands and leaning on your shoulders)))))

talk to you all soon (((group hugs)))

 ​Oh april.......  holding your hand tightly.  This is hard to grasp.  Is it about not tolerating the more aggressive type of chemo that she had under observation last?  I wish, I had a wish free, just like in the fairy tales, to make her better.  Sending thoughts of strength and healing across the big water.   ((((((hugs))))))

April...I must second all that Gabriele and Luv have already said...I like Luv am trying to process your words and as I try to find what to say to you all I can say is that I am here for you, to lean on, hold my hand and ramble on with your thoughts...We area all here for you, I do so wish there was more that I could do to help you.  I agree with the doctors meeting is good, like Luv said....and now I too am rambling...I am here with you both....sisters and friends....

Love you both...

Oh, April, my heart just fell when I read your post.  What awful news!  I am so so sorry for your daughter having to go through this ordeal.  My son has a terrible, but not life threatening disease, so I know firsthand how difficult it is for you to watch your beloved child go through this and not be able to do much more than hold their hand.   Just remember that medical science can do wonders and there are many more options, youth is a formidable ally, and there is no measure for the power of a mother's TLC.
