Update November 22nd, 2013

Dianita is still at the clinic, controlling any pain with medications, and her hemoglobin and other measurements seem ok.

There was no adverse reaction to the medication, even though I believe so many IV liquids made her retain them, and because of this, her legs are a bit swollen...she did get another drug to help on this....

She will remain hospitalized for now to monitor her and this way be checked regularly also..

Thanks for all the people sending messages and positive thoughts..!!!

Hello!! Diana is stable and her hemoglobin level went up 2 points after the blood transfusion..!  

She will remain at the clinic for a few days, they are controlling any pain with specialized drugs. She will start a type of chemo to try and control the tumors... This is the only option for now, after trying and testing many more...!

Please continue to give her hope and energy to continue on her path to healing...

Update : picture from 1st chemo, there will be one dose every week...

Update November 18th, 2013

Diana has been hospitalized today to do her a blood transfusion needed to bring her hemoglobin level up to a better one. It is currently going on uneventful...

She will stay here some days, so that the doctors can monitor her better, and give her other medical suggestions and treatments, to control or try to shrink down the tumors...

We will keep all posted as the days go by...

She sends her love to all..!!!

Update November 13th, 2013

Hi all,

Diana is currently in Colombia with baby Emma. She continues to take some alternative things, and eating the best she can. She doesn't feel well some days, but some a little better; she controls any pain with some pills for that purpose. She feels pain on her right lung and it reflects to the back, so sometimes at night it is difficult to "find the right spot".

She will be going to a regular doctor soon to check how can the pressure on her nose be relieved, because the tumor is still there and it has grown.

Baby Emma is huge now, healthy and intelligent..! She will be soon 9 months at the end of this month...

We are all praying for her health, with faith and positive energy...

Thanks to all for the help and support...!!!!

Update Oct. 17th 2013

After many weeks of analysis and medical exams, and even a planned date for the nasal surgery, it was cancelled due to medical reasons; Diana is too much of a risk to have such a surgery right now.

Her hemoglobin blood level is too low, and her pulmonary capacity is not enough to be risk-free during a surgery of that type and length. Her right lung has cancerous nodules that deplete her respiratory condition, her left lung is not really affected, even though some images show a very small amount of liquid but it hasn't changed since two months ago.

It is a hard blow to our perspectives of removing the nasal tumors and protecting her optical nerves...

Diana is affected a lot because of her physical looks, plus the pain that the tumors generate on her face... She regrets not having all the energy to play all the time with little Emma... But Diana is much more stable, and has more energy than 2 months ago when her dad passed away...

We will continue on the search of alternatives, and return to the previous ones.

Big hug.

Update sept. 24th, 2013

Hello!!

Diana is staying in Colombia with little baby Emma, and now the Colombian   health insurance seems to be covering her treatment.... Hopefully approvals should be in by tomorrow!

She went to the general primary Dr. Last week and he forwarded her case to a specialist that saw her today and immediately put an order for all necessary tests and exams needed to get her the needed surgery for her nasal tumor. With this surgery she should get the tumor removed and protect the right eye and see how can the left eye optic nerve be recovered...

Please put all + energy for the necessary approvals!! She considered staying in Colombia for now because of the help she and little Emma can receive with both  grandma's there and other family..! I have been traveling myself every two weeks and staying there all the time my work permits it...

She has also been stable with her lungs, so this is a good and positive sign...!

We will be informing of any news regarding surgery and updates!!!

Thanks!!!

Michael

Update 9/25: all tests and exams towards the surgery have been approved by the insurance in Colombia.!!!

Sept 9th 2013 - update

Hello all,

Diana is stable in Colombia still no major progress seen..., she will remain with little Emma until further notice...or if we decide that there will be better medical options home.

The lungs are stable for now, there is some pain felt on her back but controlled with medicine when needed.. Her tumors on the nose are present, so we are inquiring about surgical removal to see if it is a possibility or not right now...

The most important thing now is to give her all the positive energy we can, and make her feel that all this can be reverted and healing is our only and final goal...!

Ozone therapies are still being done, and some others... The homeopathic drops are also being taken daily.

Little Emma taking a bath...

Thanks to all....!!!! 

Update August 20th, 2013

Diana had been feeling a lot of pain for the last few days on her right side. Once at the hospital here in Cali, Colombia they made an X-ray of her lungs and saw a lot of liquid in the right one. It needed to be taken out to relieve pain and make a body Cat scan. 

Today the liquid was taken out and sent to the labs for testing and the cat scan was made too, and we are waiting for results. It is very common for tumors to generate this symptom on the lungs...

She is feeling much better, even though she is very tired. She will continue at the hospital until a decision is made regarding a major surgery of the lung to stop any more liquid from filling it again...

Please let's all be positive and with much love towards her healing!!

Communication is difficult being abroad so i will post updates here when I get Internet access.

Update 8/21: Diana is out of the hospital, much better with her breathing. She will remain calm these few days while the next steps are organized...

Mike.

Update August 17th, 2013

This early morning Diana's father passed away, it is a very hard moment for the family and friends. We are all in Colombia so please don't try to call our us phone numbers. 

I will update everybody in a few days again...

Love and strength to all.

Update August 12th, 2013

Diana did return from Bogotá a few days ago, but was able to stay for less than a week because her father got really sick. He suffers from a lung disease and breathing got real difficult for him and he is currently in the hospital.... 

Diana travelled to Cali with little Emma, where her parents live, and will be staying there for some weeks to see how things evolve. Meanwhile she is continuing her treatment with dr. Canencio who is the homeopath and

lives down there too. She is also looking into regular medical advice regarding the vision of her left eye and how to protect her right one from the same problem. There might be a surgical operation advised and it would be done in Colombia.

Besides this, Diana is a strong woman, with many desires and positive that this will go away soon. Tumors are getting softer and that continues to be a very good sign.!!!

Big hugs to all...
