closer to the end of red tape

Trishs numbers started to climb due to the red tape delays of insurance and rules. Short of it she has finaly met the new staff and dr. that she will be dealing with but also still conferring with her Dr. L here.

Due to safety reasons i will not be posting some details but the news is, with chemo if we can get her nbrs down some she will be proceeding with getting put in hospital and getting the large dose to kill everything and get the bone marrow taken and frozen and then put back in.

I am skipping a lot of information due to the dates not set and the chemo numbers but i really feel we are getting close to the big la la!

Just keep them close to your heart, prayers and hope for small nbrs to get the ball rolling.

We will hopefully get some more posting soon, today 6/19/2012 she went for chemo and nbrs so we should know what she has to work towards to get to the next point.

With the insurance and other issues out of the way she is ready to move forward on to the next venture, but i will tell you it has not been an easy road mentally and she is sensitive which she totally deserves to have a bad day and be weepy.

Keep them close on your mind and squeeze in that prayer.

more news soon!

you can always send a funny card,note or hello. Also you can still order from signify pink -(fight like a girl has new products and a percentage goes to trish and family, you just need to find their name.

Red Tape Delay

Our gal, has been doing well, But there has been the stress of a delay and issues with our fun Insurance delay and expenses. Not going into many of the details she is hoping to stay with her current doctor that she is familiar with as he is to her. But some red tape is wanting to send her out of state, even though the medical field is good for their option there are many cons to their choice.

While waiting on all the pros and cons, paperwork, proof and phone calls, her cancer cells are back and running up which is somewhat a disappointment for her and her family but she is still going strong.

The current plan is to start up labs and different doses of chemo. This time it will not be in her port but a different way. They are hoping that they can keep the numbers at bay, till they get word from insurance and funds to go forward in Tulsa.

This is where she will start isolation process wish will be a new challenge but a major safety issue.

While they freeze the bone marrow and distribute it when they get the right numbers they hope to get cancer free cells.

We will update as we get closer, this has been like a 2 to 3 month delay for the family.

So she is just enjoying her day to day, kids, grand kids, family and home life. ( she does have some side effects from her illness and med but not bad enough to keep her down completely.

She is still set up with signify pink (fight with a girl ) and appreciates all the purchases and encouragement.

We are enjoying the visits and calls.

Keep them in your prayers and lists.

The Sneath Family.

More updates as i get them. - C

It is almost here!

Trish went to Dr. to find out that now her cancer cells are at 2 percent!!!! can you believe it! from 26 to 2 now. This means the want to get started as soon as possible on this Bone Marrow transplant.

A few hurdles have come up and of course with our lovely insurance companies, regulations and such. But they are working out the kinks.

So hopefully the next big news will be the Transplant!

Just heads up! We will give you all the details as soon as things get going and how we will handle slipping things under the door to her and the rules. I believe it will be a long stay in the confinement area.

Always, the Sneath family

Our girlie is going forward. She is starting a new style of living. she will be concentrating on getting stable and continue to get treatments and taking more care of her day to day.

She had made some hard and big decisions about her work, time, and future.

And the Beat goes ON!

Trish has the winding road and she is still the trooper! it was good visiting with her and catching up as always.

Her journey has some additions, she is starting chemo yep, chemo this week! there will be a series of chemo and see if it will improve her nbrs. It will never be a cure but it will be a journey to fight with the nbrs. The nbrs hadnt come down to where they would like them but holding still, which is good.

So not only chemo but dental will begin this week aye, aye, aye, she rather have chemo than dental! anyway, through a series of meeting of great doctor minds, she will find a way to solve the infections she continues to have with the dental issues and they will figure out what they want to do, it will be a slow process a few things at a time but the dental appointments have been booked.

So now we wait after the series of chemos, they will recheck the bone marrow biopsy and see where she stands, and we all know that answer! UPRIGHT!

Then we wait for a transplant to be ready.

She still continue to have lab before the chemo so hopefully we will see the nbrs as they progress.

So everyone take that moment of breath and be strong for the family, keep up the laughs and no dental jokes unless they are good!

We continue to pray, enjoy, call and help them in anyway we or you can is helpful. She still has her account with simplypink - fight like a girl she receives 30 percent. or you can just send to them direct your thoughts, cards or whatever. Keep up the pace, and we will keep you posted.

Thanks again, from the Sneath family, oh and they had a new addition a grandson! Happy, Happy!

UPs and Downs

The numbers continue to be stable, with the exception that they go up one week and down the other. Trish continues to go to her weekly med and blood work meetings. Labs have been going smooth with some pain depending on how she is feeling and who she gets to draw.

The teeth issue is still under some consulting with various dentist and her oncologist. They are hoping to clear up what they can on the infections so that she can be ready for at least a bone marrow test. It will be an out patient procedure. We will then see how she stands on progressing to the next steps.

The hardest will be isolation when the time comes. Even for the better outcome this will be a struggle and she will need lots of happy, funny thoughts and encouragement. Also i  am sure for the family!

We spoke about the struggles she is worried about, tears, laughs and she knows she has to get through these next few steps.

Some may know and some may not, she experienced some wonderful, confusing things while she was in  coma, but knew when she woke up that a baby will be on the way soon, and sure enough she will have a new grandson soon. It is hard to believe it has been that long but this 3rd joy will be a major reason for her fight to continue.

We continue to pray, faith, strength and all the family needs. Also, continue to support them either through donation program - great gifts or by what ever you feel. Just words is a great thing.

Thanks for continuing to stay in touch with the Sneaths, as always they appreciate everyone.

We will keep you posted! C
