Update
Wanted to get an update out on Val’s condition. She had Chemo on Monday and was in tremendous amount of pain all night. She did not sleep at all. She is incredible with her pain tolerance and said it was a 10 out of 10. The pain was better Tuesday and has been getting somewhat better day-by-day but is still at a 5 tonight (Thursday night). She has had to take strong pain Meds (Dilaudid) to feel good. The Oncologist says to talk with the Stent Dr. and Stent Dr. says it must be from the Chemo…. I think we will get a CT Monday to see if there is something going on. It just very weird because there is no broken part we can go after and fix. We have some prayer request for the troops.
- Please Pray for Strength tomorrow at our son’s 7th Birthday party
- She has strength next week while the Nanny is out on Vacation all week
- That we find out what is the issue and her pain becomes controllable
- The results of the Scan are positive
- The Chemo is working like a Pac-Man on the tumors
Thanks for all the support and Love!!! It’s one day at a time.

Chris, Bill and I are sending our strongest prayers for you guys to get through this time and move on to a better place during Val's treatments. Happy Birthday to Ryan! Love Liam, Bill, Val & baby Claire
I heard this song the other day and I immediately thought of you Val. I've been praying for you since the beginning and will continue to pray. May the Lord give you peace & strength like only He can give.
"You never let go"
by Matt Redman
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
Your perfect love is casting out fear.
And even when I´m caught in the middle of the storms of this life,
I won´t turn back, I know You are near.
And I will fear no evil,
For my God is with me.
And if my God is with me,
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
O no, You never let go,
Through the calm and through the storm
O no, You never let go,
In every high and every low
O no, You never let go -
Lord You never let go of me.
And I can see a light is coming for the heart that holds on -
A glorious light beyond all compare.
And there will be an end to these troubles,
But until that day comes,
We´ll live to know You here on the earth.
And I will fear no evil
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on,
And there will be an end to these troubles, but until that day comes,
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
Hey Val!
I'm praying for you and your family and I know this is a challenging time for everyone. I pray that you enjoy your day today with Ryan and his friends at the water park, this warm weather is perfect for splashing around in the water.
I know you're strong and this pain that you're experiencing wears on you, I ask God to provide wisdom and guidance in this fight. I pray that the explanation is the chemo is working as it should and the tumors are vanishing with these treatments.
Val-I just want to say how much I love you and you mean to me. You're an incredible friend! When I stopped by on Tuesday I was concerned about you knowing you were in pain. But you wanted to discuss how I'm feeling, planning a shower and all the details. You have a heart of gold and inspire me daily. I am blessed to have you as my friend and I want to help anyway that I can. Let me know if there is anything I can do next week.
Love,
Deanna
Dear McCreas-
Thinking and praying for you! I am so sorry to hear of Val's pain. Some days, I just have to lay down and deal with the side effects by doing nothing, which is hard for me to just be still.
Happy Birthday to your son today!
Will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

My husband had a stent placement in October and we had to run him to the ER a few times for severe pains. It eventually had gone away and he hasn't had those kind of pains for the last several months. I hope you will feel better soon!

Val,
I am hopeful that you will hear positive news after the CT scan on Monday. I know that the pain can be debilitating and that it must be very frustrating for you. You are not a complainer and you valiantly drive yourself to get through the challenging times. You are kind, compasionate and caring to everyone around you. You are surrounded by so many people that want to help you.
Let others help you when you are having a hard day or just need help with the boys.
You are never far from my thoughts and conversations as I travel to various cancer centers throughout my weeks.
I miss you Val.
I wish I could make this all go away for you................
Love to you, Chris and the boys.
Happy Birhtday Ryan!
Love,
Marianne
Val, I'm the mexican girl of the other day.... I wish I could "trade" with you some of your pain if i could be helpful at least to let you enjoy the party of your son, which, anyway, Im sure you will try to make it one of the best for Ryan.
I think the party is having place right now and my prays are with you and your family! You can count on that! :D
Val, I am praying for you and your family. Since my Mother was diagnosed with this cancer in May and we found this site we have both been following your blog regularly. We keep you and your husband and children in our thoughts,and pray for good days to come. The Roberts Family
Dearest Val and Chris...
Ryan's party was awesome and seeing you both there playing and enjoying all the little ones was a joy! Val, once again, just as everyone has said, you are an incredible trooper! You have taken the "bull by the horns" with this and run with it. I know it must be tiring for you. And that is why you MUST know that we are all here for you for anything you need!!
I pray that you find answers with the CT today to your pain...I pray that the Lord will alleviate your pain completely! I also pray that you feel God's presence surrounding you...that you feel peace that He is taking care of you. I am here this week Val and Chris to help with the boys...I can grab them and we can swim our brains out at the pool!!! Let me know what I can do! God bless you all!
Love,
Kerry Randall
Val, Cris and Boys,
You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Stay strong---you are an inspiration to me everyday. Would love to have the boys over to play to give you a break for awhile...let us know what we can do to help you....what's one more kid, right?
Love,
Maricris, Virgil, Donovan, Ike, Max and Ava Enriquez
