Back in!!! F*ck Cancer leather bracelets custom made by Aubrey Summers!! $20 goes to the Betsy Hansen Cancer Fund!

Date night #1 since leaving the hospital life, went and ate dicks burgers and saw Dark Shadows at the big picture theater. This is Betsy walking up the steepest hill since she got her legs working again. Enjoy!

So Betsy just got up from her procedure. Everything went smoothly, no pus!!! So they are testing the fluid to get the best antibiotics going. Until then we are spending one more night at the Bailey Boushay…

So after a long night of “I
Can’t Sleep Johnny!!!” we went to meet with Dr. Eddie today to go over the results. As with all of our good news we always get bad news, it is how we roll. So, as far as her cancer is going, all her tumors shrank about 40-50%!!!!!!! Just after the middle of her 3rd cycle!!! Eddie and Dan were very happy with what they saw and so are we. Here CEA marker which was at 62 in December and dropped to 28 in February, is now at 9! That means the chemo, reiki, acupuncture, access consciousness, prayers, love, and don’t forget Betsy’s amazing strength to fight anything that messes with her body, her will to live and see this cancer till the end!!!

And now the bad news. Her WBC have been elevated and she has been running a fever for a couple weeks, and now we know what it is. Seen in the CT scan, her gall bladder has developed an infection, her body has surrounded it with a protective layer of who knows what. So next week she will be getting some antibiotics and then they are ping to drain it !!! Otherwise a surgery to remove the whole thing is the other option, but considering her condition that is probably of the table. So, in conclusion we ask for everyone’s energy to target her gall bladder, you did it before with the kidneys and we can do it again for her gall bladder !!! Until then no chemo will be administered. A soon as this is fixed we are getting back on the cancer fight!! And I must say, this bitch is ready!!!

Love, Johnny & Betsy

Here is Betsy walking back from the Loo! Where did your walker go??? Just wait until I show the physical therapist !!!

Well, hopefully this will be our last week here, we finally got to have a sleep over with the doggies!!!! Yes , Opal and Little Richard are staying with us tonight at the BB. Thank you to everyone that has let them stay at their house and all who have taken care of them at our house. Betsy is so happy to have them.

On another note, Wednesday Betsy is getting a CT scan a full panel blood draw. This will tell is what the cancer has been up to during this whole other issue. We are hoping for the best but are prepared for the worst. Please send all your prayers and thoughts to her. We really need some good news !!!

So, I thought I would write a little bit, most of you have seen the recent photos of Bag O Bones Betsy… Sorry she calls herself that. She has made a lot of progress in the last week. Her legs are getting stronger, she is walking more, eating Dick’s burgers, and just acting like her old self again. This makes me believe she still has the strength to fight this horrible thing we call cancer. We are having a fundraiser on Sunday at the shop, mimosas and haircuts, $50 cuts, with all proceeds going to the Betsy cancer fund. Betsy will attend for about an hour, we are not sure what time though. Next thursday we have an appointment with Dr. Eddie, and we should know more about the new plan with Betsy’s treatment. So, I will update everyone as soon as I know something. Thank you again for your continued support!! Johnny & Betsy

So we got the results back today, and her kidneys are almost back to normal. She feels great! But with every bit of good news comes bad news, it is just part of the ride. Her WBC is pretty high, which is an indication of an infection. She tested positive for a certain infection that is contagious. So, as a safety measure we are suspending all visits till her WBC goes down. She has already started the antibiotics. This is really hard to do because all her strength comes from all the love she is surrounded by. Thank you all for understanding. Johnny & Betsy

April 10th. Betsy is finally allowing me to take pictures of her. She had a good stand yesterday for about ten minutes. Took a few steps as well. Her goal is to be able to stand and walk on her own by the beginning of the week. We are waiting for blood test results today to see where her kidneys are at and her over all progress. Hopefully soon we can meet with Dr. Eddie and continue her treatment. Stay tuned for the next update. Sorry I have been slacking.

Love, Johnny & Betsy
