    • About Me

      I am single woman no kids, 1 dog named "Jack". Been sick for the last couple of years, surgeries, endless doctors and co-pays. Finally I see an end in sight. Been diagnosed with Wegner's "suspect" for now, as they are unsure they will ever be able to identify exactly which autoimmune disorder is reaking havoc with me.

    • Close Chemotherapy

      I have limited Wegener's and currently undergoing i.v. chemo for the last couple of months as all the oral agents didn't work and my vision was being affected. I'm almost 40 (GRRRRRR)and currently on short term disability to try and rest to help put me in remission along with the Chemo. Looking forward to going away to a cabin in the mountains in October with just the gal pals for my 40th.
