UPDATE: Ariel Fixler vs Cancer and Newest Blog


So many of you have asked me to send updates about our daughter, Ariel Fixler, and her newest blog posting.  I am now using Constant Contact to do just that.  Ariel is a true profile in courage and grace.  Her blog is open, funny, feisty, honest, energetic and magnetic - just like her.  Ariel's mission is to teach people about the experience of cancer -- give a voice to cancer that is real, honest and shares her humor and sass.  In early December she will celebrate her 29th birthday!

If you do follow her and find the hope and laughter as inspiring as so many have told us, please pass along because I guarantee it will reach someone, somewhere, who finds solace. healing and understanding.

Ariel has been hospitalized for over 75 straight days, lost a kidney, spent many days in ICU because of chemo side effects and almost no white platelets to combat infection and had disappointing results from her original treatments. BUT JUST IN -  PROMISING NEWS!!   At long last her new chemo, cisplatin, is having positive results!  Ariel's tumor has shrunk 35%, her white count is higher so that her chemo treatments will increase to 2x-3x/week until end of year. We are SO energized and "cautiously optimistic."
Recommend you read her Thanksgiving post:

Ariel has since posted new blogs praising a good friend and how music soothes the savage beast during chemo. You'll find these when you go to her blog site.
