Chemo Round 3


Look!  Mimi has another team rooting for her in Puerto Rico.  Their shirts say Team Fragosa Corcino and they loooove my mom.  ¡Gracias a todo la familia en Puerto Rico que están enviando su amor a Mimi!  Besos y abrazos a ustedes tambien.

In other news, we want to thank everyone for all the prayers and positive thoughts.  They really do work!  My mom was very diligent last week about staying away from crowds and resting.  We were happy to learn that on Monday when we went in for the usual labs and chemo check-in her blood work was excellent!  Her white blood cells and platelets went way up and were back in the normal range.  Phew.  Even her CA 19-9 (the tumor marker test) has decreased by about 30% just this week alone.  This is all great news.  Praise God!

So on Monday my mom was admitted for her third round of chemotherapy and (as usual) she was fantastic.  She even took time out to say a quick hello to all her friends and family out there.  Enjoy!



  • Prayer Requests/Praises:

  • Continued stability of platelets and white blood cells.
  • Continued good health (i.e. no coughs, colds, fevers, etc.).
  • Major tumor shrinkage!  We won't see a CT scan for another 2-4 weeks, but we are hoping for the tumor to shrink and disappear.  It would be super amazing if we could skip surgery altogether!
  • Our friend, Buddy Peoples, is improving daily.  Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.  We know there's plenty of that good stuff to go around.
Again, thank you ALL for the love and support.  It may sound redundant, but we mean it.  You make it possible to deal.  xoxo
