I have a journal of Jeannette's battle with breast cancer and I think it's time I share it with all my fans on my blog. I will start on April 1, 2009. April 1, 2009: Jeannette called and said she went to her doctor today. Dr. K. told her she is stopping the chemo and radiation treatments because the cancer has advanced and that the medications or radiation are not going to stop it. She also said she will help her with her pain. In other words, there is no hope for the cancer to stop. Jeannette is devastated and I started crying with her because I hate the thought of her not having hope. I know God has the last word and I told her so. I plan on driving down on Monday, April 6, 2009 and be with her to comfort her and help her in anyway I can. My beautiful Nettle's time is coming to an end and I can't stop it. I feel so helpless and depressed about it.
April 6, 2009: Drove down to see Jeannette. She got good news from her pet scan. It shows that the cancer is not spreading fast however, there is a cancer spot in her thoracic spine area. I went with her to the oncologist on Wednesday. They gave her chemo and then I also went with her to her last radiation treatment. Jeannette is still helping her kids with homework, washing clothes, fussing over the house and she still has so much energy. She seldom lies down to rest. We had a good visit and on Thursday, I drove back to Fresno. Right before I left she gave me a one hundred dollar bill and a check for $200.00. She said to pay my car tags with the check. I almost cried on the way home.
April 8, 2014: I have my car tags in my hand. Just paid them at DMV. Always thinking of my Jeannette especially remembering how she paid for them in 2009. My beloved daughter was so sweet to me.
Missing her.
