Exhaustion from cancer


have been pressed into action by my wife. She is so exhausted she literally can't move. They doubled her Affinitor chemo, and this is the result.

Last night, she ran a low grade fever. Her white count is not good. Fluids for 4 hours. Major headache.  Plus, the exhaustion.

She did take our dog Bear to the bluffs in Santa Monica to watch the sunset. Bear sticks very close to her, head in lap. He’s a big guy-- 105 pounds – and amazingly sensitive to Nor's feelings.

I know she wants me to thank all of you who have given suggestions to help her neuropathy. She worries about not being mobile or as mobile. And she is trying to apply all suggested methods.

But you know what?

Noreen is a courageous woman who fights her cancer every step of the way. She is blessed with wonderful children and a family of eight brothers and sisters, plus her parents, and a circle of friends who love her deeply.

I love this woman and am going to continue to do everything in my power to seek ways to make her life better and find a way to cure this diabolical disease.

For you reading this-- Noreen is grateful for your support. It helps her physically and mentally each day.  We thank you.

This is Cancer Awareness month.

Stella and Dot and Harry and David are corporations who are actively helping raise money for Noreen's foundation, The Noreen Fraser Foundation.

Noreen Fraser is living with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. She is the co-founder of STAND UP TO CANCER (2008) and co-produced the television program which raised 100 million dollars for cancer research.  Noreen went on to create the Noreen Fraser Foundation to raise money and awareness for women's cancer research.   You can follow Noreen on Facebook and Twitter.  Noreen can be contacted via email atnoreen@noreenfraserfoundation.org.
