Little But Some News

      Its's been awhile since my last post but to be honest nothing has really changed for Becca. The muscle pain is getting a little worse but aleve is taking care of that most of the time. She still has fatigue but no more than during the last round. Hot flashes abound which wakes her at times when she should be sleeping and her eye lashes are starting to go. Right now we are mainly concerned about her heart rate. Before chemo she was always low. Around 80 BPM resting. That's now around 100. Exercise is tricky which is pissing her off something fierce. We are 7 weeks away from the end of chemo which is now shorter in duration each time we go. about 2.5 hours rather than 4. We are loving that!
      To continue with some good news some of you know my family runs a booth at the Walworth County Fair. The Brat Pit! We've had that spot and stand for as long as I can remember. This year and hopefully years to come it was decided that we will start a non-profit booth. Nothing changes except all profits, usually less than 3K, after expenses, will go...somewhere. I say this because we don't know exactly how we want to do. This year will be for Becca and the medical bills and I'm hopeful that with this in mind the total after expenses will be higher. It's quite possible subsequent years may go to other cancer victims and families. Nothing is decided after this year...yet.
      With that said I will be looking for volunteers to man the booth. I'll be putting up a sign up post later this year but keep it in mind. All the people in the past have always been volunteers however we are hoping that with the money going to causes and individuals more people will want to get involved to help those who need it. As always thank you all for the support and words of encouragement. It means the world to us to know you are out there. And here's my love. Pass the word and share like crazy. I know you will because you are AWESOME!
