On May 13, 2011, our mother, Cindy, was diagnosed with stage 4 Non small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma). She has never smoked a day in her life. Since being diagnosed, as a self-employed and charitable family law attorney she continued to work hard for others in need. We sincerely thank you for your contribution, prayers, and support for our mother.

We had a great 4th of July weekend

This weekend was a lot of fun with the grandkids and all of us being together. We went to Canyon Lake for a little while on Saturday, the Circus on Sunday, and hung out by the pool on Monday morning for a little bit. It was really great to get some activities in and just be with those adorable little boys.

This week has been good for Cindy. She is getting out of the house and working a little bit too. She will start round 2 of the chemotherapy on friday the 8th. So she will start taking the steroid for 3 days again tomorrow. As it is she takes the folic acid everyday and her diet is cooked vegetables and meat and extremely well washed/peeled fruits. She will drink the Odwalla superfood smoothies which is good and the boost/ensure chocolate milk shakes (full of nutrients).

After this second treatment we will probably start to see some more of the common side effects. Our hopes and prayers are that she does not suffer any more at all and heals well from it.

My husband and I will be moving in with her soon to help her through the treatment and take care of her. As it is we live 20-25 minutes away from her and it would just be easier to be there just in case. I am more than positive that she will overcome this obstacle. We all know it will be difficult going through the chemotherapy treatments as it will become harder on her body, but she is so strong and God's love shines through her, she will get through this!

Thank you all for love, support, and all of your help. God bless you.
