SOME EMAILS FROM FRIENDS AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE READ THIS BLOG.

Hi, Dez,
My name is Barbara Caruso and I handle PR for Del Taco. We monitor blogs and are always interested when someone mentions Del Taco. I read your blog about your dealing with cancer -wow, you are so strong! It is wonderful for you to share your journey to health. I loved the entry about shaving your head! My dearest friend is a 7-year, stage 4 breast cancer survivor, and she said it wasn't the hair on her head she missed but the ones in her nose that catch the runs so that you have time to get a tissue! You definitely need to have a sense of humor as you journey this path. Next week, another dear friend of mine will begin round 2, her breast cancer is back and this time she's having a double mastectomy and hysterectomy and the initial stage of reconstruction. We are helping her husband pick her new boobs and correct where God went wrong! Like you and my other friend, she will be fine! :)
We wish you much health and luck with your treatments, and would love to send you some Del Taco coupons so that your next meals will be on us.
Taco on!
With warm regards,
Barbara



My name is Coey, and I love dez. I have to admit she was a little hard to handle the first time I met her. It was my first day at a new job, she was sitting at her desk just screaming away at someone across the room. I myself am a loud person however, I in no way shape or form compare to dezzy. She can light up a room in seconds, take away anyone tears with in a few quick words. I was drawn to her for some unknown reason at the time. Life was hard during this time for me, I was going through a lot of different cancer treatment myself. I was new to the area and completely alone with two kids in tow. Dez grad ahold of me and we were instant friends. At work they started calling us "double trouble" that is how much we were together. I took her to work everyday when she didn't have a car. I never could understand what "time" was dez time. It makes me laugh to think of all the moments we have shared. I left prosper after a few months to take a much needed break, the only thing that I miss is dez's voice every day.
When I got the news, I knew why we are friends. I mean, what a odd pair we are to be so close. No matter how hard cancer is, the friendship you hold are so much stronger than the cancer will ever be, I PROMISE YOU, that. I can't think of a stronger person to be going through this, no one I know would ever have the same out look as you do. You are one of the only people I can run to in times of pain. One of few to see me cry and even fewer that knew my pain. You are a rock in so many lives. I pray that I can be the same rock in yours. I love you dez like a sister who I wish I would have had. I hope you know the greatness of the support that surrounds you, it is everywhere. Just ask for it!




Hey Dez,
Remember me-Jill? I was at Denise and Cindy's house after your mom was at inner child. I'm the one from Oregon.

Just wanted to check in and see how things were going. I just read your "blog". I loved it. What a way to cleanse your thoughts and share the experience. People really enjoy reading it Im sure.

The Hair thing- I never had that much trouble with it. I guess that is my inner boy coming out and always wondering what it would be like to be bald! Who knows-funny. The stares get old and it is down right cold in the winter time but all in all I though it was pretty cool. Ok, so I am weird!

How many treatments do you have all together and how many do you have left? They will get progressively worse (not to freak you out any more) so make sure you take it easy. You really need to read your body, pay attention. If I did it all over again I would not work at all(money is always the issue though). The most important thing is your health and you must focus on that. Think about what you eat. Your body is struggling with the poison and needs some nutrition to rebound and to have a fighting chance. You have so much support in your life that everything that needs to be handled will be handled.

I know the big saying in "cancer" is "I am a survivor". That never set well with me for some reason. I like to think more along the lines of "I kicked Cancers Ass".

Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you!

Love and Light
