SABINE: Visitors

Who said we didn't have visitors

We had five guests in our pond pasture late this afternoon.

The geese were not impressed!

The Fight

Sabine is fighting multiple myeloma which is presently an incurable cancer of the blood and bone marrow. We first found out about this cancer in December when her kidneys failed. Multiple myeloma can cause organ failure, bone density erosion, tumors, chronic fatigue, a compromised immune system or a combination of these illnesses including a high risk for other cancers (hence the description “multiple”). The kidney failure has resulted in Sabine going to the dialysis center in Madison three times a week for the first seven months. We now have been trained in "home dialysis" and have a machine and all supplies for doing hemodialysis at home -- on our schedule. After a number of rounds of chemotherapy in 2008, Sabine received an autologous stemcell transplant in the spring of 2009. Since that time, her cancer "numbers" have been good.

In this interim, we live each day fully and participate in our monthly support group!
