My Healthcare team
I spent the weekend in Indianapolis. Erin came from Chicago, Meredith from Louisville, and Andrew and Randy came from Evansville.
it was wonderful to have everyone together and I was feeling pretty good! I think I only got up close and personal with the potty one time. Now that's something to celebrate!
My sister was with me all last week. She had the opportunity to meet my doctors. My radiation oncologist had to say good-bye for a couple of weeks. She went home to see her family in the Canary Islands. I'm going to miss her. She is a brilliant and beautiful doctor who cares about every aspect of my life. She spends so much time with me. Dr. Chiorean is my oncologist who specializes in pancreatic cancer. She's also brilliant and beautiful and from Romania. Both doctors have an amazing bedside manner and I feel very fortunate to be in their care. I didn't want you to miss what my sister had to say:
I wanted to blog before I left Indianapolis yesterday but Ann and I had a very, very tight schedule and time didn't allow it. We were just busy...sitting and watching sparrows eat french fries at the Children's hospital food court, dangling our feet in the hotel swimming pool watching the stupid pre-teen boys risking life and limb in the pool,...it was a whirlwind. Ann has a beautiful medical team there. I can't say enough good about her doctors and nurses. They love Ann and are beautiful, brilliant and on the case in a big way. She is in wonderful hands. When I left her yesterday she was, if not sturdy, getting around pretty darn well. She was prescribed some Swiss nausea medicine that seemed to get her eating and drinking again. I have a lot of human hope that wasn't there before. Through it all, May His Most Lovable WIll be always our will too. Pax Christi, K.

Tomorrow I start week three. Mondays are usually my hardest day with both chemo and radiation. Sometimes I also need fluids on Monday. On Wednesday I will celebrate "half way there." I'm looking forward to being on the backside of this. Thank you again for all your prayers. We just need to "keep on knocking!"
Much Agape, Ann

With the active social life you have - even while under chemo and radiation treatments - it's no wonder you need extra fluids sometimes. I'm amazed you only need them once a week - instead of every day!
I did catch your sister's post - I like her - she's a chuckle. :)
I received your note and boy - did I feel special that you took the time and effort to write. (flipping hair)
Today will be easier on you than before. You are half way through and your system is getting used to this by now. You'll probably leave the hospital and have a tremendous urge to go pump iron. You are Ann Moore!
I am so moved by your strength. Keep up your positive attitude... even if you have to fake it sometime. We love and miss you in Evansville! I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

That is the Ann Moore that I know. That is the Ann Moore that I see. I do not see an Ann Moore who is tired, who is weary, who is weak. There is no such Ann Moore. The Ann Moore that I see is the one that little boy saw, an Ann Moore who came a thousand miles through rain and jungles and the dark of night to bring to a small poor boy the light of acceptance, the strength of encouragement, and the hope of love.
That is the Ann Moore that I know. I don’t know much, but I do know that. And if you know anything at all about Ann, you know that too.
You are an inspiration, Ann.
Love,
Bunty.
As I have told you before you are truly an amazing and inspiring woman! Your faith and trust in Him through all this is such an example of a true
Christian woman. I know your body is being healed and your spirit is only growing closer to Him and the life He wants us all to lead. I love reading your blogs and the humor you exhibit during these difficult times. You are definitely missed and prayer for every day.

I am praying for you. I have been so touched by your faith in a GOD who can not fail. He loves you so much and is with you during all of this. The enemy comes but for to steal, kill, and destroy, but Christ has come that you may have LIFE and LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY! John 10:10
