Life is constantly presenting us with opportunities; testing our abilities to handle pain and more importantly discover happiness. Our thoughts directly affect the outcome of how we view and experience our journey. Believing is light in dark times; uplifting and guiding us through the unknown ahead. Believing gives us the strength, to move past our fears and know we are going to get through this.



“Believe” in yourself; be inspired to live out your dreams, exceed your goals and know that you can do ANYTHING that you set your mind to.



“Believe” in your friends and family; know that they are right here beside you! To inspire, support and LOVE YOU!



"Believe” in GOD; know that he has a plan for you. He will protect you, strengthen you and help you.

August 10, 2012: Chemo- ROUND 2












Today Mom, Ali, Grammie, Grandma Lian, Grandpa Sandy, Jordan and our good friend Susan accompanied Britt to her second round of chemo.  Grandma and Grandpa are still on vacation but came back up for the day to drive us into UCLA and support Britt. Since we know what to expect, we all feel a little more at ease about the day.  Again rotating in shifts, so everyone has time with Britt.  Grandpa Jim, showed up for a surprise visit. Britt loves having so many visitors throughout the day, makes her treatment go by faster.  Lunch request today was Flame Broiler. Another 8 ½ hrs of treatment but it went very smoothly. Britt left, with all smiles.  Her nurses love her and love how she brings smiles and laughter with her. Britt appreciates all the love and support she is given.  She has met several patients obtaining treatments for all sorts of diseases and feels very blessed.

 We made our traditional run to Ditty Reise to pick up some super    yummy cookies for the ride home  This has become a guilty habit but not something we are going to quit (he, he, he).  Look at all those cookies baked fresh, daily- all day long!!!  Everyone has their favorite flavor.  We are so lucky they are in walking distance of the UCLA Medical Center.

 HOT FLASHES started earlier this week and continue to come, this must be the start of the Lupron kicking in.  Second Lupron shot, next week. Hopefully the heatwave we are experiencing in So. Cal eases up.
