I was scheduled to have surgery today at 2pm, but I changed my mind this morning with the help of a doctor I really trust. We are going to wait for the radiation to work a little bit before deciding if a shunt is truly necessary. I really don't want another hole drilled in my head if it isn't necessary.
I really don't know how vulnerable to be on this website because anyone can read it, but things have been scary lately. I was hoping to come to Karmanos on Friday and receive another round of chemo and then go home to normal life. That didn't happen and now Katie, the doctors, and I are wrestling with questions like what is the best route to simply lengthen my life... quality of life questions and what is the liklihood of a cure?
More information will hopefully come our way tomorrow.

Praying for you, Katie, and the doctors. E-mail me anytime you want. The same thing goes for Katie.
Love you both, Michelle aka "Mrs. G."
Far be it from me to be a gusher..ok...I'm lying...we are what we are....
That being said I wonder if you know what an incredible human being you are....and do you REALLY know how much you are loved, respected, applauded, cried about, looked up to, fretted about, lifted up in prayer, acknowledged, considered, modeled, and so much more. Only you could a little more than a week ago swim across Strawberry Lake, only to a few days later be evaluating these staggering decisions. You amaze me like no other. We choose to stand in the belief that if wellness is to be had - it is rightfully yours. Remember - "according to the law of aerodynamics THE BUMBLEBEE IS UNABLE TO FLY". But the Bumblebee being ignorant of this profound scientific truth goes ahead and flies anyway. Hmmmm
Miracles happen, bees fly, and you have alot of living to do.
Love you,
Denise
Wow, sounds like you've got a lot of difficult decisions to make. We're praying for you!
Miss you lots.
