September 24-September 28 Outpouring of Love, Trip to Huntsman

Tuesday, September 24 - Saturday, September 28:  She has been resting, as much as Nanette can rest, and has had visits from so many friends and family.  So many Ward and Stake members of the Church, neighbors and friends - old and new - and members of their families, have visited, brought flowers, provided meals, help with transportation for the girls, and offered prayers and well wishes for her.  She has enjoyed having people visit and can tolerate short visits very well.


Wednesday, September 26:  Nanette's first visit to Huntsman Cancer Center.  A new road that hundreds of other people have already traveled.  What a wonderful facility.  It is difficult to feel sorry for yourself when you see so many other people with every variation of cancer.  It was an intense three hours.  Nanette was still recovering from surgery and a little restless to sit through three hours of information and instruction.  She met with the nurses, PA, Doctor Coleman, the social worker, and others.  The plan is to start radiation and chemo simultaneously 4-6 weeks from date of surgery.  Radiation will be six weeks, five days a week.  Radiation will cease at that time and she will continue with rounds of chemo for many weeks after that.  She has ups and downs every day and she is making it through each day.  She is one tough cookie and staying positive.  We relate to Nanette every comment, wish, prayer and concern from every friend and family member.
