I saw my doctor today and he confirmed that my CAT scans look really good. I could tell he is happy for me but of course had to keep his "professional" composure. He was obligated to remind me that there could be spots in there that cannot be seen on CAT scans, and that I have a very serious disease. We will proceed with 3 more chemo treatment cycles which will take me up to mid January and then go from there. I can't plan anything definite yet past that point. And of course, my plan could be a lot different than the Lord's plan for me anyway. What I do know is that I've come a long way baby in the last 7 months!
I have my next chemo treatment tomorrow, Thanksgiving day. Last night we had an awesome stuffed pumpkin and apple pie holiday meal with Monica and her boyfriend Tony. All 4 of us helped with the preparations and the cooking and it was fantastic.
As many of you may know, my dad passed away peacefully last Saturday. He was 92 years old and is in northern Idaho. Because of my condition and being very susceptible to germs and infection, I had to make the decision not to go up there for the funeral. Also the stormy and sub- zero weather there is not something I should be exposed to right now. It was probably the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
The apron fundraiser is going well and they are selling out fast. We will have more to choose from in phase 2. Our Monica is becoming a bias tape queen on her sewing machine. If you haven't checked this out, please go to the help4maria facebook and see the photos.
Ron & I want to wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow. I bet you can't guess what we are thankful for!
Thanks to you all & God bless your Thanksgiving~~~maria
