About Me

My photo
I was born on July 19, 1947 in Detroit, Michigan to Rolland and Margaret Moore. I have an older brother, Rod, two sisters, Marcia and Jan (my older twin). I was briefly married and have two sons, David Harford and Kevin Moore. I have six grandchildren from my older son and his wife, Janie: Mariah, Austin, Jason, Chayse, Ian, and Haley. I have three grandchildren from my younger son and his wife, Robyn: Nathan, Katie, and Kezia. I was diagnosed with cancer on July 6, 2009. This is my journey!

~Doctor Update~

Mom talked to her doctor today. She now understands she has cancer and that it's terminal. She's been diagnosed with stage 4 uterine cancer; we won't know her doubling rate till she talks to her Oncologist, hopefully on Monday. She took it hard, like anyone would, but I think/hope she understands its not about how much time is left, but about what she does with it. Her doctor said it's untreatable at this point, but we are still researching options to keep her comfortable and as healthy as possible. Others have beat the odds and perhaps she will too. It's in God's hands and only time will tell. Mom is learning how many people love her and are there to support her. She said she didn't know she had so many friends. Printed on the walls of the nursing home where she's recovering from surgery there are a number of quotes; I was asked to share one of her favorites:

Every day holds a possibility of a miracle.

I would like to thank everyone for their concern and support through this difficult challenge. Though the future is uncertain, the sun has yet to set and we will savour the golden rays of sunlight for as long as they grace the sky.

~Update~

Jeryl has a doctor appointment tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. with her gynecologist. She is the one that discovered the tumor. I'll update on here tomorrow afternoon as to what the doctor says. Jeryl is on the way to recovery, has her good days mixed with her bad ones. Her back hurts a lot and she is still on the pain medicine. Her recovery is going to take a few weeks like any major surgery! She appreciates everyones care and concern. Thank you all!

~Happy Birthday to Me~

HaPpY BiRtHdAy to ME! I'm 62 years young today or my real age is 26! I love my birthdays every one! I'm grateful to be spending it with Marcia. Kevin and Robyn along with Nathan, Katie, and Kezia came from Cheyenne to see me for my special day! We had bbq chicken, potato salad, and corn on the cob along with my favorite chocolate cake and mint chocolate chip ice cream. Yummy!
