I've often said to my kids ...... "Many times we do not have control over what life presents us but we DO have control of how we look at it". The road of cancer is a difficult one for many reasons but so many amazing things have come from it as well.... and I am grateful. Raising funds for Dr. Kim's research is just one way of trying to make my cancer a positive thing. My fundraising ISN'T only about raising money though... it's about bringing a great group of people together and sharing what has been a very difficult journey at times. It's about friendship, love and celebrating life.

This is how my hands looked before I finally
got full relief/blood remission from the Mogamulizumab Immunotherapy trial drug. I have been off the drug since Nov. 2015. Through very sensitive tests we know there are still cancer cells present but so far I am symptom free!! |

May 2015Another photo of my skin before finally being accepted into the Mogamulizumab drug trial. Living with Cutaneous Lymphoma is not only physically hard but also extremely emotionally hard. I would disappear at times because I was too embarrassed to be seen.
