The decision part being made, you can move on with confidence knowing that you have made the best decision you could, based on all the information you have and that doctors have. Now the trust part starts. You are moving one step at a time as you have light to move. That is all that’s necessary. Remember that God sees over this “mountain” and sees the end result even though you can’t. Trust Him. I love you. Janet

Thanks for the update. I have been praying for you during this decision making process. I know you made the right decision. Taxotere is the drug I had, but it was paired with Cytoxan, not Carboplatin. I can get you a number you can call to be paired over the phone with a survivor that had that exact pair of drugs and she can discuss side effects with you. Although as you said, everyone’s different. Let me know if you want the 800#. I used it and they call you the same day or next. Keep your chin up and email when you can! Hugs, Lisa

Holly, thank you so much for sharing your blog.I agree with Linda–that even in a place of weakness and fear and the unknown…you’ve proved so strong. I am so glad that you have felt the love of others surrounding you and lifting you up. I’m glad you and Dan have come to a decision….what a hard choice. We will be praying for you through the unknowns and whatever comes next. Love to you both.

I felt happy when I saw the video Dan posted about the mama bear and her cubs. It was great to know that you are still getting out, living life and not letting the stress get you down. It would be so easy to do that and no one could even fault you for it! I’m sure it will be harder to find that energy during the chemo rounds, but stay strong like you have been and if you can’t sometimes, know that it’s OK not be! We’re all thinking of you

Holly, you are just one awesome gal. My heart hurts for you and all that you are going through, the unknown is the scary part. I wish I could do something to make it better or take some of these treatments for you. I don’t know what to say to take away your fears, I can say that I will be praying for you and send you encouragement along the way. You have so much love and support you will make it through the days ahead.

Holly, you are such an inspiration – even in your weakness, you’ve proved strong. And it’s okay for you to be scared. I can’t imagine not being scared. I just read your blog and cry. I pray that the chemo will go smoothly and have as few side effects as possible. Just put on your cute little hats/scarves, “fight like a girl” and know there are people who love you and are praying for you all over the place.

Wow that was special, I am sure that you could see them much better in person. I hope you weren’t as close to them as it looked. Holly glad you were up to a little hike today. I know it is good sometimes to just get out and away and forget everything.
Still Praying.

I’m so glad you posted this, I was thinking about asking for an update, but didn’t want to be nosey! Glad to hear you’re laughing, but how could you not…I mean, Dan with hair???? LOL!

I’ve wondered about those 2nd opinions differing too when I’ve heard others say they were going to get one. Seems to me that a 3rd opinion is required and then you decide on what the majority says???

Let’s see some pictures of you with your new hair!

Great post Holly! So glad to see you in good spirits & glad to hear that the drains are out!

I already told Dan but he better buy that rasta wig – it was obviously MADE for him. It’s also hard not to look at him in it and laugh. They say that laughter is the best medicine so Dan, pony up mon! -RS

I so love this picture of you and Dan. Your blonde wig looks great but I think Dan may be our next top model with his. It is good to see the smile on your face through all of the craziness. You are always in our prayers and we love you both.
