Patty has finished 3 weeks of radiation and Chemo. She is losing some hair around the radiation site...but other than that there hasn't been any other side effects. She had a Dr's appointment at the beginning of last week and she got a really good report. She continues to stay in San Antonio with Omie and Opie. Karen Phillips and I went up on Tuesday and took her to the Radiation treatment, then to eat out at La Cantera...of course we did some shopping.
She is looking forward to the family reunion...
Thanks again for all of the cards and food and love and PRAYERS...
God Bless

Finally!!!
OK Guys...Patty has heard from the ones who know??? She will start her radiation treatment on Monday and will start taking the chemo pills on Monday night. She will be staying in SA with Omie and Opie during the week. She will be "Off" from the radiation over the week-ends and start back up on Mondays, having 30 treatments total.
She has had some really good days, yesterday she had Ms. Janie style her hair, while there Mrs Phillips came by and kidnapped her and took her to the Main Grill in Uvalde...She went for a mile and a half walk this morning...it was actually cool outside???
She wants yall to know that she REALLY REALLY appreciates the kind words and all of the PRAYERS!! She ended the last post with "Patty knows your strength is her strength"...right after that she read Little Goodson's (Laura) comments! "If it is hard to find the strength know that we will be strong for you, if it is hard to smile know that we will smile for you....you are not going through this alone...we are all fighting with you." Very strong words...but it is exactly what we need to do for her. I will add...and we will pray, and pray, and pray for her for God is on her side and God will give her strength...together as the Patty Raye's Prayer Warriors we will stand for her as she fights, and we will fight with her!
God Bless

The Waiting Game
Sorry guys...I know it has been awhile. I was waiting till we really knew something...obviously we are still waiting.
Patty had several Doctor appointments last week...with the oncologist, the radiologist and the neurosurgeon. They did receive the pathology report of the tumor back from the Mayo Clinic. The results were the same as the biopseies, yes she had two!! The report said that it was an Astrocytoma grade 3. Which means that it was malignant. The neurosurgeon said he feels that he got all of the tumor that he could see...which is a good sign. She has had some minor side effects from the surgery...but is working through them. The doctors will follow their plan that was set up prior to the surgery...She will receive Chemotherapy and Radiation. The chemotherapy will be administered through a capsule which she will take for about 42 days, take a break then take some more...she will be going through radiation for about 30 days during the same time...she still doesn't have a set schedule as to when they will start...hopefully we can get that tomorrow.
Her brother, Bobby Jay from Alaska flew in last Thursday. His son Robert is graduating from High School and his daughter Trisha is in the miliatary and is stationed in SA. He will be in Texas for awhile.
Patty has been using the time off to recover from the surgery, going through all of the medicine information, and looking at all of the cards she has received as well as go through the blog. She loves hearing from her students...both current and graduates as well as all of her family and friends. Patty knows your strength is her strength.
We did manage to get over to the movies...and yes we had our "REQUIRED" popcorn!!! All we could eat!! She thinks along with that and Omie's cooking she will have to go get a new wardrobe. She says she will just buy MooMoos :) lol
God Bless
