Reality sets in.
What we share with you is in reality just the surface. There are hidden pitfalls and horrors that are best left unshared. What you don't see is the fear, sadness and overall feelings of helplessness that we as a family share. You hold out hope for the best and when the worst shows up...well lets say...never mind. The side effects of the treatments are in full effect and we are going through some health issues. Do you remember how hard school was as a teenager? It can be very rough and to have to face it with hair loss, swelling due to the prednasone. I guess that this period is the time when we buckle down and focus on the future, and the hope.

Indie and Dunlap Family,
My name is Juli, I am not sure if you will remember me, but I used to work for Dr. Riggs. I was his MA for 2 years. I remember your sweet family and have thought of you often through this. Dr. Riggs sent this link to me and I am so grateful that I can read of such courage and strength. You have no idea what your amazing example as a family through this fight is doing for others. I was just recently diagnosed with Cancer myself and have struggled with the effects of such a diagnosis. But what I have found is that I am not alone through this. Indie, your sweet example of determination and faith has given me hope. Don't give up. Hang in there. And, when I shave my head, I will think of you. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. Thank you for sharing your experience with me and so many others.
With Love and Hope,
Juli Housholder
