Destination: Texas, Frequent Flyer Miles needed!

Twenty twelve is starting out with a BANG.  The Texas EBV+ positive vaccine is working and we are set to begin to make dates for flights! Therefore my partner and I are desperate to attempt to fly both of us down this round since I will be flying out of Houston the same day as my infusion, and probably won't be feeling too well.  Dr. Bollard has decided that I will receive these infusions every six weeks until the cancer begins to progress... we're hoping I will be able to stay this for a long time coming, since this vaccine does not cause ANY side effects nor is there any toxicity levels: the truth is, I haven't felt this good since I was twenty-two, it's so amazing to finally have my life back :)

Anyway! Back on topic -- Due to my lovely internship schedule, I will have to fly down on a Sunday in January,  infuse on a Monday morning, and fly back Monday afternoon/evening, just in time to intern on Tuesday morning.  The second round will be held in March, and the third round in April. Thus, having Rich with me on that Monday would be crucial if we are able to find flights for both of us.  But if not, I have traveled down to TX alone, and can surely do it again!


In turn, we are desperately asking anyone who is out there if they would be willing to donate their frequent flyer miles to my cause.  We are looking to fly from Philadelphia airport to Houston, TX and flying back from Houston, TX to Philadelphia.  If you are able to donate, please email me at: RebekahFurey@mac.com.  In turn, we are so, so deeply appreciative of all of your generosity and kindness in even thinking of helping me through this cancer journey and on to a treatment that is working...


If you would like to help, but do not have frequent flyer miles, we are also in need of money for food, lodging, and transportation while we are in Texas over the next six months -- please feel free to click on the 'Donate' button to the right of your screen under 'Houston Treatment Donations.' -- every penny helps us on these trips, and even a 3-5 dollar donation makes a difference -- Rich will tell you this, because if we have enough money, we splurge on buying a piece of the most heavenly pecan pie we've ever tasted at Goode's BBQ down in the heart of Houston :)

Luckily, after this sudden trip we will have the future dates of infusions, months in advance and therefore affording and scheduling flights will be a bit easier than this month, and the last two infusions.

I can't even begin to thank those that have made contributions and donations for food and lodging, for this round, I will always be forever in debt to each of you for making this treatment possible.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...

Again, I am forever grateful to each of you for your emotional support all these years, but now, on top of that, so many of you have taken the time and energy to write, donate, and support me through this trial in Texas and I honestly could never thank you all enough.

Love and Light my loves!
And Happiest of Twenty-Twelve to all of you!

I am worried about Hillary and the care she is getting in New Hampshire.
