About Me
- Elyse
- After suffering from a persistent cough for months, and failing to get multiple physicians to pay attention to me, on Tuesday, May 27, 2008, I was diagnosed with bronchialalveolar carcinoma. Lung cancer. Genes (or whatever) trump a healthy lifestyle.

WOO HOO!!!!! That looks awesome. Brent is so lucky to have such a COOL mom who loves to do the same things he does. Whenever you're feeling overwhelmed by the cancer, you just show "it" that picture!
Dear Elyse
I love your pictures but I love your spirit and the drive you have for life. It is refreshing and honest.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, John and Brent.
Great photos, Elyse! Now what you need are 4 little boats - for the dogs! I hope that visual brings a smile...
Happy early birthday...hopefully you will get to relax and enjoy the day.
Lots of love and prayers,
Lorie
Elyse,
I've said it before, and I'll say it again....you remain such an inspiration to all of us. Your determination, your outlook, your incredible ability to overcome adversity, and yes, even your kayaking skills....Since May you have endured so much more than you have ever dreamed your life would hand you, and you have handled it with the grace and courage of a true champion. You are a great wife, mom, friend, and dog parent.
Just keep on doing what you are doing...you've got the right formula, and your support network grows ever stronger.
Enjoy today, relax, and rest up.
Love,
Ann
Elyse,
What great pics. Glad you got to do that. It was also great to see you at the meeting last night. You looked very good! I know everyone was so glad you came by. We miss you and pray for you. I hope to see you after your surgery.
Mom,
This time has been hard on the whole family. It has not felt like 3 months since the diagnocies, but hopefully, this chapter in your life will come to an end September 24. In my heart, I know that you will be there to see me graduate from high school, go to collage, get married, and have kids; No matter what, we will fight this terribe dissese that has claimed so much of your.....our time.
We will fight and you will win
Love, your son,
Brent
Brent,
That was soooooo sweet. I won't even correct your spelling :)
Love, your friend,
Lenore Kaye
Elyse,
I know I spoke with you this morning, but please tell Brent how amazing his words were....hard to believe they were spoken from a 14 year old. They left Lee speechless(also hard to do!) Brent, you are truly terrific, and have had to grow up a bit quicker than most of our boys, but you are handling it with the grace your mother has. As much as we love your mother, we love you.
Ann
Dear Elyse, John and Brent
Just wanted to remind you that our family holds you in our thoughts and prayers. We are here for you in any way that you need support.
Warmly, Kathie Hughes
Elyse,
I've always known what a beautiful, sensitive soul Brent is! All my best; I'm praying for a year of heatlh and great news for you!
Oh, Brent. What a fine young man you've turned into this summer.
