Trinity and I regret having lagged on updating you all on her latest. But we've spent some much needed time together in the last few days and we'd like to share her progress with you.
Let's take it back to December 9, 2010. This was the day that Trin discovered some of the best news she'd heard since the beginning of her battle against brain cancer. Upon receiving results on her latest MRI, doctors informed Trinity that the mass inside her brain had responded well to chemotherapy and radiation. This meant that there existed a light at the end of the tunnel because the mass was no longer visible on the MRI slides! God and the amazing team of doctors worked magic so it was a YAY experience for all of us as we cried tears of joy :)
This was not the end of things, however, but rather a new beginning. Trinity was told that she needed to continue her chemotherapy until September 20, 2011. She is currently half way through her treatments and has unfortunately lost most of her hair...
...But Trin brushes this off and remains positive that things will continue along a promising path. She is SO STRONG! Trinity is now undergoing MRIs every two months so that doctors may monitor the situation. She has been helping out with the American Cancer Society and hopes that her journey will inspire others to volunteer as well.
Trinity's birthday is on May 7, 2011 - which is ironic because that is the date of the National Brain Tumor Walk as well! She and I hope that many of you can join us in San Francisco that day to celebrate the completion of one of the most challenging years of Trinity's life. The Brain Tumor Walk is a fundraising 5K marathon to support brain tumor research and patient services at the National Brain Tumor Society.
So Save the Date - Saturday, May 7, 2011!
Over 2,500 people participated last year in 2010 and they raised over $630,000 to support brain tumor research, patient services, and advocacy programs! You can register now for the event at www.BrainTumorWalk.org/BayArea or you can just register on the day of the event as well.
Trin is also assisting in the planning of this Summer's Santa Clara, Campbell, and Hollister Relays for Life. More info to come on those events as the dates near.
Thank you for checking in on Trin's progress and please take the time to comment below as your feedback and support inspires Trinity to keep fighting even on her sickest of days. We will continue to keep you updated on her recovery. Have a great day friends and God bless you all!
Love,
Nazy & Trinity
Still praying for you Trin. And you end Chemo on my son Jayden's 3rd Birthday!! Keep it up girl you are doing awesome!!
ReplyDeleteTrinity, my thoughts and prayers are with you. God's timing is astonishing. Keep believing, keep expecting, and NEVER think negative. God's plan is always to have good for something bad. He opens supernatural doors that the average person would not understand. He will do things for you that no Dr. can see. Stay strong in your faith. You will overcome. God bless. And don't forget to accept Jesus as your lord and savior; that's when the real deal comes to work ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear that you are keeping your chin up :-) I often pray for you wondering how you are doing so I'm happy to hear that everyones prayers are reaching the right person and making a difference. Do any of the proceeds from the 5k go to Trinity? I know of someone who would like to make a donation if they are still needed.
