Missing Becky

I went to see Becky over the Memorial Holiday and I'm already missing her again. We want to go see her over the 4th of July but my daughter has a cheerleading parade that weekend. We went and visited Becky twice over the Memorial Holiday. Both times she was having a hard time staying awake and it was a little hard understanding her. She is in a nursing home and Becky's mom said she wouldn't make it back home. The tumor is intertwined with her nerves which makes it pretty painful. The pain pump is helping her deal with the pain but is throwing off her days and nights. Becky always seemed to thrive at night anyways so it's no surprise that her body is awake at night and wants to sleep during the day. She seemed pretty skinny to me and her hair was growing back but that's all secondary, the goal is just to keep her comfortable at this time and happy.

Always thinking of you Becky
Love your best friend JP

Update from Becky's Mom

Well first of all please all keep praying, it is working, so far so good. We went to the Pain Management Office today. Dr. Feldman, who the last time he saw Becky she was in hospital bed fast and on bed pan unable to get out of bed, with her Oncologist who has written her off saying this was the end. Well he was smiling from ear to ear as we walk in and walked back to the rooms, he didn't say anything just kept shaking my hand, and explained the pump to Becky cause when they explained it to her last she was clear out of her mind on 16.3 Dialated per hour. She is now with the pump on 2.99 Miligrams per Day, that is a bigggg difference. They put this template on the pump the size of a hockey puck under the skin it shows where to insert needle they took out the old Dilated 5cc and put in the new 19cc. and we are to go back on June the 10th unless we need to up the dosage.

Well we got home, walking out of the office by the way, very slowly of course but still walking out, we drove through the city parks looked at the flowers and the geese we have 100,s of them and we had to stop twice well they crossed the road she was smiling at that.

We got home and she got out the pan to heat up some ham, greenbeans, and potatoe stew and ate 2 bowls of it and some fruit fresh strawberries and pineapple and laid on the couch to watch Judge Judy.

I know to anyone else these things would seem small but I know all of you would know what all of these little things mean.

Thanks so much for all the prayers, and keep praying.

Love to you All Dee (Beckys MOM)

Upcoming Birthday

February 17th

Becky and her mom will be on their way to NIH in the morning for her tests. Becky has had so much pain with these kidney stones. She is finally home and NIH got her scheduled right away to go there. Her CT scan is at 4:15 tomorrow. She will be an inpatient there until at least Sunday.

At least three others from the MPIP are currently at NIH. We make quite a family, all caring for each other! Hoping they all get good reports!

Update on Becky

Sorry, it is me again, Julie. Thought you all might want an update. Better from Becky, but I am all you have at the moment!

I continue to check Becky's website daily myself and finally wrote to her mom and got an update. She asked me to post on the MPIP, but thought I would put this one here.

Last Sunday Becky started having some extreme abdominal pain, turned out she has some kidney stones. Those can be so painful. Anyway she was admitted to the hospital last Tuesday and they have changed the stents and zapped the kidney stones. She is currently not having pain in her kidneys but is on an antibiotic because of the stent and this is making her nauseous, so she is still in the hospital at the time being.

She was suppose to go back to NIH two weeks ago for scans, but that coincided with the big snowstorm and Becky didn't feel up to sitting in airports with her reduced immune system. This past week she was in the hospital and couldn't go. NIH is anxious for her to get back for scans to see how things are doing. We are all anxious to hear some good news from Becky!

At home... resting...

Hello All!

I'm sorry that it has been awhile since I have posted. After much "deliberation" by the Dr.s at the NIH ~ I was able to come home on New Year's Eve!!! I was soooo Happy :) about that. I made it home with relative ease. It was snowing and amazingly beautiful... looking at all of the wonderful Christmas lights decorated on everyone's homes... it truly was a nice welcome home.
I've not been feeling so well... off and on... but that was to be expected. My immune system will take approximately 6 months to fully get back into order.
I have some amazing friends and family ~ I wouldn't have been able to do this without you.
Right now, the number one priority and goal, is to keep eating... and to eat well. I lost alot of muscle weight, which, apparently isn't a good thing. I've finally begun to eat something other than cheerios and jello!!!
I am hoping to put all of this behind me... I have honestly had quit enough hospitals for now. Although, I am supposed to be going back to my onc for a urine culture... this stint... is causing problems... infections, etc. I'm not sure if it is almost time to change it once again or not... something I need to look into.
It's nice to be home though... so, for now... I am going to enjoy the simplicity of this time. I have jacked my furnace up to 75 degree's and have put on additional heaters... it is now very warm and cozy!!!! (just how I like it)
I hope that all is well with everyone.
I will continue to post ~ as long as I am feeling up to it. Today has been the best I've felt in a long while.
I am keeping all who are fighting in my thoughts (especially Knute ~ who is currently at the NIH doing this treatment)
Take Care my friends ~ and Thank you all... so very much ... for your kindness and concern.
Love,
Becky
