Alison wasn't able to complete radiation therapy today. We under-medicated her, and when laid out on the flat table with the mask, she was in too much pain. I ended up grabbing the pillow and holding her up while the nurses went for morphine.
That news, coupled with her loss of motor function and strength in her legs (overnight this happened), prompted the doctor to medicate her so that she could lay down flat for a CT scan of her lower back. They're going to radiate her lower spine to give her some relief.
So we're back in the room now, and she's out of it. A 10 minute appointment took 3 1/4 hours, and she's due for some rest.
I'll post what the Radiologist's impression of the CT scan is later.

Thomas and Alison Kline, April 2008
- Alison
- Middle Of, Indiana, United States
- Ali was diagnosed with Stage IV Cancer (Neuroendocrine Small Cell) when she was 25 years old. Her battle with cancer was one more way her beauty shined through. She was grace and strength. Her faith and spirit are what drives her husband, family and friends. Tom's still writing at "Our Lady, Star of the Sea."

Makes me sick to know the pain Alison is going through. You're love for Ali is a beacon for us all. Thanks for the constant updates Tom, I am checking now several times a day and found myself yesterday walking to my cry, thought of Alison and teared up. I hate what you too are going through.
Much Love,
Becky

I'm not sure how I found Alison's blog - probably one of those click here, read, click here, read, but I'm so glad that I did. I've been following your story and hoping and praying for you and your families.
God bless,
