The news is bad, the PET results were positive and we have a tremendous battle ahead of us.  Surgery tomorrow (port implant, biopsies and aspiration), two rounds of outpatient chemo start Wednesday followed by bone marrow/stem cell rescue, then BMT isolation with inpatient high dose chemo. I'll know more after our consult with Faye's lead oncologist tomorrow afternoon.  Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  ~Lolly

Faye's first PET scan since the end of her treatment is on 4/27; one week from tomorrow. My not-so-secret and oh-so-fervent hope is that this will be her last - the last one she'll need, ever. As I try to stay focused and confident, anticipation and stress are sneaking in on me.... Great distraction:  I have news on our next 5K cancer fundraising event and it is very exciting.  We are planning a night run on the dam road Saturday, May 5, 8:30pm. Participants will get t-shirts and glow sticks (or some kind of lighty things) so they can dodge traffic... just kidding, they're actually going to close the road for us! I know it is kind of late notice but you would not believe the obstacles we've encountered putting this thing together.  Come on out and run with us on the dam road, at night, on Cinco De Mayo!  Registration is available on playstrongcolorado.org (and please share the link with all of your friends and family).   ~Lolly
