Amy's Cancer Story

Thank you for your calls, emails, and texts. Those things make a girl feel loved (as well as many other things). Also please keep in mind that I am admitted to St Margaret’s Hospital in Aspinwall/Pittsburgh. I am on some drugs that make me dizzy, cause me to think crazy and produce typos when writing. […]

Lots of things going on: 1. My bloodwork counts for various items in my blood have been very low. I received my antibiotic treatment on March 23, 2023. The infectious disease doctor was making it clear that they would keep treating me to prevent removal of my right leg (they dr.s are trying to keep […]

A lot has happened since my last post.

Thank you for all the people from my church, friends and family, and other churches that have been praying for me and checking in. I appreciate you all!

Although there is no confirmation from cultures or appearance, just leaking. He did not indicate that I needed to see my infectious disease Dr. Dr. W is […]

My new cancer drug is still not approved and in my hands due to red tape. I was able to most likely get it for nothing or as low as $5 (hmmm because I asked). It was suggested that I start taking it as of Dec 27th. Went to the wound care center Jan 6 […]

This was a quiet holiday. My mom stayed home for Christmas as she is in a very similar battle as I am. We were thinking of visiting her out of state but I had to stay home due to Dr appts. I visited my Breast Cancer Specialist in Pittsburgh on Dec 27th. She has recommended […]

Things are still a bit of a whirlwind. It has been hard to keep up with Christmas things. This year, I did not use 99% of my decor. The tree is pre-lit and pops together, no decor on the three. How easy is that and it looks good. My leg hurts a lot so decorating […]
