Welcome

Jeannette Wang and her companion, Alan Neiditch, welcome you to this blog. On Sunday November 15 we fly to Frankfurt Germany to begin Jeannette's cancer treatment with Dr. Ursula Jacob. As many of you know, Jeannette was diagnosed with breast cancer over five years ago. She had chemotherapy followed by a mastectomy. Her cancer has now, over 5 years later, metastasized to her lungs, liver and bones. Fortunately, through her doctor, Harold Clark, MD, we were introduced to Dr. Jacob. She is a renowed oncologist with a private clinic in Germany. She recently became famous for her treatment of Farrah Fawcett. Dr. Jacob performs cutting edge innovative cancer treatments not generally done in the United States. She offers great hope for Jeannette. Since so many people have expressed an interest in Jeannette's treatment, we have decided to create this blog to allow everyone to share our experience.

Jeannette and I want to thank so many of her family and friends for their well wishes and prayers. Jeannette asks all of you to pray for her as she embarks upon this treatment. We especially extend our warm thanks to those of you who have helped contribute to the cost of Jeannette's airfare to, and treatment in, Germany.

  1. Jeannette,

    First, I'm so sorry to hear that your cancer has returned. However, I am glad that you are seeking treatment. My thoughts and prayers will be with you on your journey.

    I'm glad to hear that you have Alan with you - he'll keep you laughing (and come to think of it - with your sense of humor - you will also keep him laughing!).

    I love you, Jeannette. Keep the faith....let all the prayers and warm wishes coming your way lift you up!

    Love,
    Barbara M.

  5. Jeannette, I spoke to your son, David this morning, boy, he sounds just like you-he said his siblings have gotten very close because of you and I thought that was beautiful. You know that old Chinese saying, "with crisis, comes opportunity." It is true. You have been blessed with good children, a loving boyfriend, and many, many friends who are sending positive vibes across the ocean to you. Can you feel it- Germany must be shaking now!! I hope today went well. Keep fighting and keep focused on the bigger picture!! Alan, did you find the noodle shop?! With love and admiration always, Liz
