It's Rachel again!














After irradiation treatment


My friend Scarlett, she is shy.



Sisters, on my visit home a couple of weeks ago.



 Waiting for the shuttle to go to St Jude, typical day.




 St. Jude Riders. In order to do the ride each biker has to raise $1,000, this couple each rode their own bike so they raised $2,000. This is the 6th year for this group and they have raised over 2 million dollars in that time for St Jude.  So many amazing people.
 Memphis Zoo

 My Uncle Rick and Aunt Becky who came to visit.
 Rachel and Diane
 Spending the day in the medicine room for multiple blood tests.  Kettle Corn is a great comfort food.

 Raspberries.  Not as great as ours at home but still good.
 Our Zoo Boo shirts from the Memphis Zoo
Well, I know I said it was going to be hard, and that I'm in for a long ride, but it has really taken it's toll! But as of today we're I'm down to 7 more radiation treatments.
Anyways, pictures speak louder than words, so that's next!  (Diane added a few captions.)

  3. I''m so glad to see this post. I know it isn't easy, but I'm grateful you took the time. I read this the other day and thought of you: "And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me" (Moroni 7:33)
    You have the faith, you have the power. He believes in you and I believe in you too. You can do hard things! Thank you for inspiring me. Keep the faith!
