Update

Since our latest big news, Kecia has been busy making appointments, meeting with doctors, and doing research on her mastectomy procedure. She got her first round of lower dosed chemo late last week. It was MUCH better than the usual but still left her in bed "sleeping it off" for 3 days. She has already bounced back quite nicely and has been very busy. She had another breast sonogram done and has an appt. with the surgeon who will do the mastectomy on Tuesday. At that time they will schedule the surgery and give her all the details as to what she can expect. She is excited and optimistic as she knows this will be one more big step out of the way, but as with all surgeries she is somewhat apprehensive. They have told her that there is a chance that she will be able to have reconstructive surgery done at the same time which would greatly reduce the mental anguish over loosing her breasts. Most of you don't get to see Kecia on a regular basis and she forbid me from putting her "cancer pictures" up on the web, so you haven't seen the dramatic physical changes that have occurred in her over the past 9 months. I reported to you that she had lost all of her hair, including eye lashes and eye brows. During the 10 dry weeks without chemo, Kecia started getting her facial hair back and a small bit of fuzz on her head. (we teased that she looked a lot like a chea pet) I am happy to report that her buzz cut is now thick enough that no scalp can be seen. She hasa nice thick helmet of black hair. (and boy is it soft like a baby's) It's only about an inch long but it's a nice start. She looks great...even healthy! I can't tell you how good it feels to report good news! Thank God for miracles! Hopefully the worst is behind us, but please stick with us and continue to pray for Kecia regularly. I have absolutely no doubt that they are what pulled her through this difficult time and we want you with us until the end. Thanks for your continued support...
