Hello Family, Friends and Well Wishers. This is a new blog created to keep you posted on the health and adventures of Laurie Chalifoux. I (Noelle) am setting this up so that you all can receive timely updates on Mom's treatment and prognosis. As we progress through this journey we also hope to enlighten and inform you. I told mom she could post daily devotionals when she is up to it and we even hope have wig voting contest, where you all can choose the newest hair style and color for grammy!
But, on a serious note, we would like to start out with good news. The surgeon, Dr. Jim Pellicane, called today inform us of good news. The tumor was smaller than the MRI originally showed. It was 1.8 cm. This is almost half a centimeter smaller that we thought. He also said that only one lymph node was effected. It was a big lymph node, but because it is only one this means she is a great canditate for localized radiation. We still must do chemotherapy (hence the wig makeover contest) but this is decidedly good news.
I am starting this site out for mom so she can really spread news. I know she is so grateful for all of the good friends the support and prayers. Check back often, and we will keep the site updated. Thanks. Noelle
