Amy had a brief 2 week break from chemo but is now back to her treatments. The doctors are very happy with the progress so far. Please continue to send your thoughts and prayers.

Amy received some good news today. The doctor says the cancer is in partial remission, which means that it is responding to the treatment! She will be starting another cycle of chemo, but it will be a weaker form, which should be much more tolerable.

Amy has now gone through treatment for a little less than 6 weeks. Before her treatment began she was dealing with a lot of pain. Since she began her treatment her pain has subsided. She is in great spirits and is really grateful for all of your prayers and support. In the next couple of weeks she will be going back to the doctors to for a checkup.

After going through a couple of different doctors and two hospitals, Amy and her family have decided that the Doctors and treatments offered at Beaumont are their best option. Treatment will begin this Wednesday. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers, and thank you for the continued support and donations.

If you would like to send a donation by mail, please email me at bookoute@hotmail.com and I will send you the infoermation. To comply with IRS rules and ensure that 100% of the funds go towards helping Amy, checks must be made payable to “My Friends Care” with a note in the memo that says, “in honor of Amy Gregory.”

Update!!! We NO longer have a PO box

My sister Amy (Bookout) Gregory has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. For those of you who may not know Amy, she is a young and vibrant mother to three young girls (ages 1, 10, and 13), wife to husband Bill, sister, daughter, and friend. As if raising three children in a tough economy were not hard enough, they are now faced with a new challenge, and with that, a mounting stack of medical bills. With each new appointment, prescription, test, and treatment, Amy and her family are incurring costs that they simply cannot afford to pay.

To help ease the financial burden, we have formed an alliance with My Friends Care, a 501-(c)3, non-profit organization that assists cancer patients in raising funds for medical expenses.

We understand that times are tough for most everyone, but we are asking for your help, however, big or small, to ensure that Amy is able to focus on her health and continue getting the medical help she needs for a chance at life. By making a tax-deductible contribution to My Friends Care on Amy’s behalf, you will help cover the cost of the treatment she needs to fight this disease. Also know that every dollar of your donation will go directly to helping Amy. Feel free to contact me any time through the contact button at the bottom of the page.

Thank you for all of you support!
