So far Janet’s prognosis is positive. The good news is her cancer grows and divides quickly, which is favorable because that is what chemotherapy works best against. As of now the treatment plan is six rounds of chemotherapy three weeks apart. She will have to receive radiation but it is unclear how much at this moment.

She recently had her second treatment on Feb. 12th. This treatment went better than the first for Janet and, while her hair isn’t doing so well, her spirits are high.

She has been blown away by the amount of support that the community has already given her. However this support can’t stop yet! Medical bills are starting to roll in and the overall expenses associated with battling cancer are growing. Janet has taken a significant step back from working at the brewery in order to put all her energy into getting healthy. Therefore operating costs at the brewery have increased. Janet and the Spinnaker Bay Brewing family need your help.
 

  Please join us March 12th at The Pike Brewing Company from 5:00-9:00.

The entire Spinnaker Bay Brewing family sends many thanks to everyone who has already helped us grow since we opened our doors in 2013. We could not have made it this far without you. Now more than ever Janet needs your help. Please consider contributing to this important cause in any way you can no matter how small or how large you are able to. Every little bit will go towards making sure Janet is able to overcome cancer and continue living out her dream as a professional brewer and business owner with her amazing talented partner Elissa Pryor.
