bigugli Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 There is nothing more powerful than the human spirit. Jen is proof of that. From what I have seen and heard, nothing will stand in her way. Be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Thanks for putting that link up Johnny and thanks for all the the comments folks. Jen had her one year, since surgery, check up today... blood work, Xray and CT scans still showing she is clear of Cancer. Her showing the Oncologist, Surgeon and all their interns that she could walk, and a few other "parlor tricks", had them standing there with their mouths hanging open. A couple interns ran to fight over the computer to look at her Xray in disbelief... that it could even be possible! Wish I had more time to upload some video I took today, but I hope to be back "on the dock" before dark tomorrow. And YES Terry she did climb the Temagami Fire Tower on Saturday morning... WITHOUT using even a cane or taking anyone's hand. Picture at the top says it all ! Edited July 18, 2012 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spincast Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 That is GREAT news Wayne. We're very happy for you and your family. I've climbed that tower and the fact that Jen did that with no cane or other assitance - amazing. True Grit there if ever there was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Walking for us at the lake, last Thursday morning. I think the hardest thing for her was keeping people quiet back home with computer access that knew she had walked the previous Friday afternoon! <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qhktf25ukqY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Should have her tower climb video before we leave for the lake in the am...

irishfield Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well as the saying goes... all good things come to an end at some point! A year of extremely hard work, to reprogram her brain, leg and muscles to work together and do things that no Doctor has seen before, after a brutal 7 months of Chemo before surgery and now... Jen has a bone tumour on her skull approximately 7cm x 6 cm that's about 1cm deep. We are praying it isn't Ewing's again and that it's something new this round.. if you can believe that. Sounds odd... but we are praying that it's any other cancer than Ewing's Sarcoma... that way the tumour can be removed now, although her Oncologist is fairly certain that it is Ewing's based on the tumour configuration (but hopes like hell he's wrong) If it Ewing's it has to be killed with chemo before it's touched (the same as her pelvic bone tumour was) which will mean, most likely, another 10 sessions of full week long chemotherapy on a 3 week cycle. She saw a neuro surgeon again this morning and her biopsy is on Monday am to make room to get her in for a full body bone scan tomorrow at 8am ........ just to make sure this beast isn't anywhere else in her body. They'll performed the biopsy Monday and then we bite our nails and wait for the results for at least 10 days. Nothing really needs to be said... just looking for more positive thoughts all around to get her through another bump in the road! She's keeping her head up and even went straight from the neuro-surgeon appointment to work this morning, as "someone needs to get the new Maple Leaf Gardens Athletic department ready to go" !
