Fries Family Four: Houston Report
http://patandsarahfries.blogspot.com/2011/06/houston-report.html
Friday, June 17, 2011. We just left Sarah’s consultation at MD Anderson. The big news of the day: Sarah will have chemotherapy for at least six months. This is a good thing! In fact, it is a great thing! Let me try to explain. As you might remember, surgery removed 90%-95% of Sarah’s tumor. The goal of the 30 days of radiation was to reduce the amount of residual tumor that remained. So, for the math majors ( Angela. This would mean that approximately 95%-97.5% of the tumor is gone. This is the next step...

Fries Family Four: Good Grief
http://patandsarahfries.blogspot.com/2011/07/good-grief.html
Tuesday, July 26, 2011. A good night's rest has been hard to come by lately at the Fries house. For about two weeks, Sarah has been very nauseous. So nauseous, in fact, that she has not had more than a daily popsicle or snow cone since her nausea commenced. It's been encouraging to reflect on how this prayer has been answered, and we look forward to more opportunities like these. More than once, I've asked myself the question, "What good can come of this? How's this good for Sarah? But, grief produces ge...

Fries Family Four: March 2011
http://patandsarahfries.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 27, 2011. This is, typically, one of my favorite times of the year. Daylight extends further into each evening, a round of golf becomes more plausible, and of course, it doesn't get much better than four weeks of tournament basketball. With certainty, though, you can expect a March shower to ruin a day of golf, a cold front to disrupt an outdoor family event, and only one team in the tournament gets to win their final game of the season. This is the madness of March. Nor do we know all the ...

Tuesday, May 17, 2011. You Are For Me. Just wanted to share a song and artist that have really been encouraging me through this time. Please take the time and give this song a shot! It's a great reminder. Radiation update: Almost done with the 5th week which I was told today is usually the hardest week. Umm.yes it is! I'm on the home stretch! Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Many things have surprised us through this journey so far to say the least! My amazing SIL, Angela. Here's her latest gift idea. She made ...

Fries Family Four: April 2011
http://patandsarahfries.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 19, 2011. Everyone has been asking how I'm feeling, so what better way to tell everyone than to blog! I have 9 radiation treatments under my belt and 21 more to go! The treatment only takes approximately 15 minutes. I counted today and I get "zapped" with what appears to be a purple light 76 times every treatment. No worries, I can't feel it! The questionable part of the treatment is the mask! Here's the weird thing.I kind of find it relaxing! The purpose of this lovely tight mask is to ma...

http://notlostintranslationar.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 23, 2009. The Danger of Fashion. So a friend of mine clued me into this story, and I felt I had the duty of letting my faithful followers know:. Look great doctors say they can be dangerous for our health. According to some experts tight jeans. Might cause a nerve problem called meralgia paresthetica. Together with high stilettos skinny jeans. Put great pressure on the femoral cutaneous nerve that runs through the thigh. As a result ladies often feel tingling and burning through the leg.

Fries Family Four: August 2011
http://patandsarahfries.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 19, 2011. I stumbled upon a Good Morning America video this morning that left me a wreck (in a good way)! I sent it to a few people, but thought it could touch more people too! I was struggling with how to blog it and if I should wait for Pat to blog it since he's so good with expressing himself with words! Then low and behold, my dear sister-in-law, Angela. Put it into words for me! And read what she wrote (which also left me a wreck! Thanks for loving me through it! The good news is that...

Friday, June 10, 2011. Everyone has been asking how I'm doing and I realized it's been a while since I blogged! Honest answer is I'm doing great! I feel really good and I'm getting most of my energy back. Most of all I'm loving being home with my family! I return to MD Anderson on June 16th-17th to figure out prognosis and future. I will be sure to update then too. The love and support I feel right now overwhelms me and takes my breath away often! June 10, 2011 at 3:51 PM. June 10, 2011 at 9:31 PM. Is a ...
