Hi this is Sandy. I am sorry we have not been keeping the blog up to date but I wanted to wait until I went up to Devon today so I knew what I was going to say. It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Cathy has slipped into the final stages of her cancer. I was up to see her last Wednesday and we had a good visit. She sat up in her chair for 4 hours and visited with us and it was wonderful. Unfortunately Cathy took a turn on Thursday. It was like she didnt want to talk to anyone and she did not want to get out of bed. She was just too tired. At the time we were not sure if it was because she was worried about having the Cat Scan done on Thursday and the possibility of starting chemo again... if she had another small stroke... or if it was the cancer. As Cathy Brown has blogged the oncologist told the family on Monday that her liver is full of cancer and there will not be any more treatments. Since last Thursday Cathy has been sleeping most of the day and if you ask her a question she will answer it but she is not interested in carrying on a conversation. Mom and I went up today to see her and Wanda, Larry, Ashley & I are going up tomorrow as it is Johns birthday. I will try to keep you better posted as I will be up there all next week for the Roar to the Rings (curling) and I am hoping to see Cathy alot. For those of you who are asking what you can do to help unfortunately there is nothing any of us can do but pray. I again want to thank you all for your outpouring of support and love it is not going unnoticed even if we are not getting around to responding to you all. Love you all Sandy
