For those of you wondering what has got my tail in a spin, these are the drugs they are planning on shooting into my carotid (?)artery via a port that they have implanted in my right chest just above the breast.
Cytoxan, Vincristine, Prednisone, Rituxan, and the anti nausea medications Aloxi and Decadron
Take a look at the side effects of those drugs and you can see that I might be jumping from the frying pan to the fire.Right now I am feeling pretty good and healthy but I can guarantee you I won't be feeling so good or healthy while and perhaps even after taking all those drugs.
Do I really want to risk all that I have got going for me right now?

A Gift of Hope
A Gift of Love
Why the title for this blog?
I struggle with staying positive in the sight of adversity. It is very easy for me to dwell on the negative aspects of my situation and miss the blessings that come from the trial and so I will use this blog to help me stay focused on the rainbows of my life.

About Me
- Colletta
- I was born in Minnesota but spent close to 2o years of my life in Oregon. I loved living in Oregon and vowed that when I grew up I would return there to live. Little did I know that one day I would meet and marry a man who shared that same dream. Brian and I were married on October 10th, 1973.We were blessed with five children. They have all left the nest and some of them have families of their own. We have been blessed with six beautiful grandchildren! I love my family and enjoy visiting with them whenever we get a chance. In my spare time I still check up on my father and sisters in Litchfield and tend to the various chores on the farm. My hobbies include family history research,baking, gardening, mowing lawn, sewing, camping, hiking, bike riding and working to improve my home and farm.
