Kallie's Amazing Life

It's been three months since Kallie was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma and she's doing great.  However, as of last Saturday we've had to abandon the 25 week treatment regimen for a new protocol since Kallie keeps going into and out of remission every few weeks or so.  The new protocol is called MOPP and is also known as the "rescue treatment" since it is used to treat relapsed or resistant forms of lymphoma.  Doesn't sound good, does it?  The good thing is that you'd never know that Kallie has cancer and she's being treated by one of the nation's leading veterinary cancer experts, seriously.

I'm working on finishing a paper bag album and wanted to show you some of the finishing touches.

Puppy Luke Card

Casey and Kallie's cousin Luke passed away this week from cancer.  We always called him "Puppy Luke" because he was so much smaller than our girls.  Did you know that 1 in 4 dogs dies of cancer (www.curecaninecancer.org)?  Help fund research to find a cure.

Week 6 of 25

Four weeks after going into remission, Kallie is now out of remission.  Her treatment protocol has been changed accordingly and we're hopeful she can turn it around. Otherwise she seems to be in good spirits.

Christmas Card Preview

The idea for this card initially came from Lynda Fraser and then I saw another version done by Andrea Walford, which I totally CASEd (Copy And Selectively Edit).  Thanks for the inspiration ladies!

2 Weeks and Counting

Five days after losing Casey, Kallie was diagnosed with Stage 4 lymphoma.  Two weeks ago she started a course of chemotherapy that will last 25 weeks.  The bad news is that the average survival time after diagnosis is 1 year; without treatment 6-8 weeks.  The good news is that after just 2 weeks her cancer is in remission.  We are cautiously optimistic.
