Mom at Andy's Big Night- Brings Ovarian Cancer Together

Last night my brother Andy reached a milestone in his career as a musician. To some a small event, to others in the professions huge. Mom and Dad have been to problably dozens if not a hundred of Andy's concerts where he performed. Last night for the first time and took the stage as the Band Director. Mom loved his performance and Laura his fiance couldnt get over how young he looked up there. It was a bit strange for me also to see my little brother do such an increadible job now that he too is a band director. So, to Andy, BRAVO!!!! on your first concert, and may you have many more just the same.
On another note last night. Mom was in her classic beret that she sports now that her head is well......bald. A woman behind her reached forward to politely ask, "I am sorry but do you have Ovarian Cancer". Mom replied with a "Yes". The women went on to tell of her mother who beat Ovarian Cancer. Mom ended with a "Thank You and "I am going to beat it too". So no where you go, theres someone who knows, someone who has felt its damage, but also someone who knows the fight that it takes. Mom has that fight. Bravo Mom!!!!!

Andy, I am very proud of you and you did a fablous job.....

Love, Your Brother....the other band director

Hawks Come to the Rescue

As you all know by now TEAM JLO is in a full speed ahead fundraising mode. One of the newest components of our fundraising team now comes from mom's alma matter J.P Steven High School in Edison NJ. My wife Lauren is a teacher at J.P and took the lead to encourage the 10th grade class to sponsor TEAM JLO by selling ovarian cancer ribbons. This is only one of many other fundraising efforts that we're embarking on at this point. Very shortly we'll be reaching out to business for their support as well as seeking sponsors to cover the cost of TEAM JLO shirts that every runner on our team will wear. If anyone out there knows of any business that would be willing to sponsor us by purchasing the shirts please let me know ASAP. Let's get going and raise some money. CONTRIBUTE HERE

Thanks,

Chuck

GREAT NEWS!!

Back on October 2nd we found out again Mom's Cancers level's jumped up to 236. Most of us walking around have some levels in us and the norm range is 1-30. Just a few days prior to Thanksgiving we had found out that it was down to 23....Now,,,,,,,,,drum roll please........................................Yesterday we got word that mom's levels are down to 10. That's just increadible. We're so proud of her and how strong she is. I had made an error in the last post. This was mom's 5th treatment and still has one to go. In celebration of her new low number she went out for dinner with dad and bought Kemo a new toy. Well more from the home front soon.


Best,
Chuck

#6

Tomorrow marks mom's 6th chemo of this round. She continues to fight just as before and she's doing better than ever. Throughout this year however she'll have to have monthly maintaince treatments, but her motto is "whatever I have to do, I'll do". It would be amazing if we were all that strong. Well keep the prayers and good thoughts coming. More from Team Lopez Soon.
