Whatchu talkin bout Willis?!

so, in my search for people like me out there...30 somethings that have been diagnosed with kidney cancer, the pickin's are slim. many personal blogs are about random drama in people's lives that few other people in this world give a rat's a$$ about...this one will probably be no different. although the main subject will be my cancer, i'm sure i will go off on random tangents about anything from mixed emotions to who cut me off on the highway today. im not an english major...i wont capitalize or punctuate correctly, i will change tenses and i will speak like a g33k from time to time. basically i will be me...because i can hide behind my computer screen and its great!

ps...i will also jump around...my mind is all over the place all the time...

Sad, sad news...

After over two years of fighting unbelievable battles against this insidious disease, Beansaver lost the kidney cancer war on September 6th. She never could build enough stamina after suffering Sutent's side effects and the ascites fluid buildup and thus the new drug Afinitor was never an option. She continued fighting - struggling to get up every day, in spite of several debilitating symptoms including 30 lbs of edema in her legs, until she was too weak to do so and she went to a very nice hospice for comfort care. Five days later on Sunday morning she died peacefully in her sleep with BeanSaverMom holding her very brave little girl's hand...

I know Beansaver truly appreciated all of you who followed her blog and I'm sure you will all miss her often humorous and entertaining posts - a true feat when it comes to talking about kidney cancer.

Beansaver's Facebook friends can find additional information on her wall.
