Quick update.

Yesterday Raquel had a Herceptin infusion, but this time with no chemo. These infusion are a Her2 protein block, Her2 is one of the elements that makes this cancer so aggressive. She will continue with these every 3 weeks for a year. She will also begin a estrogen blocker. She will take this for a long time.

Surgery #3 is in 7 days. We had another $3000 co pay! But thanks to all of you at NCKA, we were again able to make this copay!  Thank uou all for all you do. You have no idea how this helps us. Again, I will be missing work to care for her and get her on her feet again.

I created a account just for the NCKA donated funds. Raquel has the card and it is ONLY used for things related to her medical treatment, co pays, med bills, prescriptions, ect 

You can see the recent copay attached. Jim and I have spoke and if anyone would like to see the bank statements on the donated PIF money, I would be happy to share it publicly. Its all tracked.

Again we would like to thank each one of you for your kindness, support and love.

I will update you all after surgery next week. For now we must rest, 8-9 months of this has exhausted us both.

Also attached is a huge pile of PAID med bills for Raquel. Thank You NCKA ❤

Update. Lots of big bills like this one paid too. Youd be surprised how many of these we get.

Thanks for the update Brent!!

So glad that Raquel is hanging tough and moving forward, and that she has you there to help her with all of this.

Thanks again for being so transparent with all the funds...makes it a lot easier for the community to see where and how PIF funds are used.

Give Raquel and the girls a big hug for me!

Thanks bro. Love ya!

So she is out of surgery. Shes sore, swollen, tired and buzzed up 👍 Just waiting till we can take her home. Again, this surgery wouldnt have been possible with out you all. Thanks for the love. I hope the good karma brings you all happiness and good health. ❤🌲

Jim can u fix the sideways pic? Still not sure why it does that to me 😍

Id also like to give a big overdue Thank You to Allen for keeping this site going and supporting PIF. Id also like to Thank Joel, without Joel the spirit of PIF would have never happened. And of course thank you NCKA members for growing PIF into a beautiful thing. And also the A-Hulls tireless efforts to help others through PIF ❤❤❤👍
