Tarzan's Jane Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hi Jen; I too missed this, but I haven't been around much. I took care of my step-Dad last week. He lives out of town and is presently going through radiation and chemo for stage 3 lung cancer. Radiation is every day, chemo is once a week. (for now) He is such a sick man....so weak....so frail....and so determined. You and he are heroes to me. I will pledge and I will be thinking of you on those days. It is the least I can do to show you that you have touched my life. I have to believe that your passion for others is an opportunity for the rest of us to get on board and help you attain your goal and in so doing bring you joy. Thank you for doing this for all those who suffer. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 THANKS Guys!!! She's gonna be one tired cookie by weeks end. She's running the money table at her best friends (Jen is her Maid of Honour in Sept) Buck and Doe tonight until 1am (that we just left) in Elmvale. All of us back to TO tomorrow for noon, then a full week of chemo starting 8am Monday, ending Saturday afternoon. A bridal shower for another Friend Saturday night in Toronto (that we suspect she'll last about an hour at being fresh out of the Sarcoma unit) and then this walk Sunday am. Don't get too excited if she misses the Sunday event, as that also involves a drive up to Barrie to do so and then she has to be back in Toronto for a Pre-op appointment Monday at 9:30am. Mind you... I don't know where she finds half the energy she does, so it may go ahead as planned. The walk a week later in Toronto is for certain. Walk or wheelchair.

irishfield Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks Folks! Now at over $2500 thanks in part to the wonderful people here. Now if some previously promised donations come in, and a bit of hope, she'll reach her goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Thanks Dan ! Still waiting for some of those promised donators to jump in. She's got a "pitch" walker for Sunday in Barrie. A week Sunday she will be with her team for the Toronto walk/wheel and thanks to GBW we have a nice push style wheel chair for her gf's to take turns wheeling her thru the park if she gets too tired. I suspect she'll use the chair as a walker for the most part... or possibly leave it behind all together, we'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 We'll we test drove the wheel chair today. About 2pm Jen wanted McDonald's, seems to be a strange thing with chemo patients that generally never eat there but then suddenly get a craving. I told her I wouldn't go get it for her.... she had to come along. So I pushed her to the diagonally opposite corner of the full city block to Dupont and Dufferin and back home. So I did a good part of what the walk would have been in Barrie... oh and the LCBO happened to get hit on the way back to!! (that pocket is handy on the back Geoff!!)

irishfield Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 It's in hand Kelvin and will be turned in next Sunday for the Toronto walk. Good thing she didn't do the walk yesterday..

Again Wayne your daughter is a real trooper. Going through all this is brutal. Seems like you are spending a lot of time in my hood. Live around College and Grace and boot over to the Dupont/Dufferin McDonalds for their $1.39 muffin/coffee deal. Actually like their coffee now more than the overrated Timmies stuff. Best wishes to your daughters health! Whatever way she goes it should be fun to participate in the fundraiser walk. Cheers, Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
