as you know if you've been in touch lately, i have been suffering some extreme pain caused by a tumor located on my spine. apparently the tumor is compressing a vertabrae which has pulled nerve bundles out of alignment and has caused other pains to radiate out from the location of the tumor. All the oncologists and dr.s agree that radiation on this tumor will shrink or eliminate it, obviously eliminating the pain. (as compared to the nightmare of narcotic pain relief coupled with side effects and withdrawal symptoms which i have accidently put myself through twice). the down side is that radiation is roughly $1,000.00 per treatment and i will need anywhere from 10 - 20 treatments to effectively deal with this tumor.
i decided to try again with medi-caid, medical, etc. this time the process was smooth and quick and is already done and i have been approved! i actually begin radiation hopefully tomorrow! this means we will be staying in the santa rosa area during the treatments, possibly taking our weekends up in mt shasta.
i am still having some pretty bad days, but there are some good days included in the mix now as well, and i sure am enjoying those ones.
as always, my heart has been expanded to near bursting with the love and encouragement and support and sensitivity i have received from all of you, my friends. thank you again and again, we are all on this crazy ride together and we will all rock on when we have kicked this evil disease right in the balls.

God bless you brother. Love you.
Isaac, Johnna, and kids:
I hope you're finding ways to celebrate the small victories in the face of such uncertainty. I think about your Family all the time. If there was something I could do to heal you, I certainly would. I know it's needed most of all, but donations seem so shallow a contribution sometimes ya know? I'm also glad you have so much support; you've touched lives in ways I'm sure you don't even realized.
Kelly.
