NEW WEBSITE! www.donnasharp.org

I have a new website set up to use and I will be phasing out this blog soon.
The new website is: www.donnasharp.org
~~~Please send comments to Donna at the new website~~~

~~~The reason for the change is that there have been a lot of requests to help Donna out financially. Because of this, a fund has been set up for Donna through Chase Bank that you can make a donation to. In order to do this we needed to have a "real website" for PayPal to connect to. This "blog site" doesn't allow for that. I apologize for the confusion. The new site is set up with a "Blog" page and a "Donate" page.

Unfortunately, the comments from this blog cannot be copied over to the new website.

Thank you for your understanding. Tina (Donna's sister)

First Oncology Appointment

Yesterday, a friend of Donna's who is also a nurse and familiar with chemotherapy, went with her to see Dr. Orr (oncology). The colon (cecum) cancer is Stage IV with metastasis to the liver and lungs. Donna will have a permanent IV access placed next week and begin chemotherapy on Thursday. Chemo. is infused into the access every two weeks for 48 hours. No colon resection is planned because the tumor is not at risk for blocking the colon. We are still asking for your continued prayers for Donna as she starts with the chemotherapy.
