Regan and Riley turned 12

February 9:  Another good week for Nanette.  She had an Avastin infusion on Tuesday (Feb 3) and there were no side effects or complications. Her lab results were good and the infusion went well.  All the people at Huntsman in Day Break were happy to hear the good results of the MRI the week before.  The people at Huntsman become like family so they share in all the good news (and bad) right along with you. She started another round of chemo pills (5 days of double doses and 23 days in between).  She is still spending hours on the phone with the pharmacy trying to ensure her prescription arrives by the day she is to begin.  Maybe the third time will be the charm and they will come without a hitch. She is trying to reduce the steroid dosage but doing it slowly to keep free of headaches.  She has enjoyed a nice week with her family and friends.  Regan and Riley turned 12 years old this week and are out of Primary (at church) now and in to Young Women activities and classes.  The joy of having teenagers in the house again is coming quickly.  She is feeling well enough to take a short trip to California this coming week to spend time with the Newman and Abarca parts of the family living there.  A little sunshine will be a nice change and everyone is excited to see her and her family.  She has appreciated your calls and notes about the good results of her MRI.  You continue to show your concern and love for her and that means so much to her.
