About Me

Erika

4yr old daughter lives separately, 3-way shared custody

May 24, 2005
I have now been informed that I have brain cancer.
After much thought we are now going to stop treating the leukemia. I can only receieve 3 more rounds of chemo and as it is, it may begin hurting my body instead of treating the leukemia.
We are, although, going to start taking action treating the brain cancer, by way of the spinal cord. A procedure called intrathegal where they go into the same spot in your spine between the vertabrae and dispense a chemotherapy drug that goes to the brain. I'll be recieving it once a week every week, until whenever they just can't anymore...
This has all been so much to take in...
