I'd like to make this entry more lengthy and interesting, but my extra time this week has been limited. I just want to let you all know that my MRI and follow-up appt. with the radiation oncologist doctor on Tuesday and Wednesday went well. My head still looks clear, and the multiple spots on my spine are even more faded. My white blood cell count is back up to normal, and I have regained about 25% of the weight I have lost.

The doctor was delightful and full of hugs and smiles this time. I think he probably has to give bad news to his patients far more often than such good news he has given me. My appointment in the radiation office was a delight, as it has been for the last 6 months. He wanted me to come again for MRI and follow-up in 3 months, but I talked him into 4. I don't have to go back until November!Although our current schedule seems busier than it was a year ago, it is nice to mostly be back to normal living.

The continuous prayers, support, and encouragement bring tremendous amounts of joy and thankfulness to the Lord.
