HI...It's hard to believe the difference in my health from this time last year; no chemo, neutrepenia, mask,etc. I had another evaluation the week after Thanksgiving and I am still "stable". So I have been given another reprieve for three months. The evaluation did show that the amyloid numbers have crept up a bit and so has the kidney function test. However, neither of those tests caused the doctors to feel we had to make any immediate changes or find a new treatment, so I am just going to enjoy the holidays (and the the Carribean cruise we have planned for late January!) and have another evaluation in early March.
So I am feeling well and have been very active. We had a week vacation in Tucson in October. Sunny, warm, desert landscape and plenty of time with our friends Fran and Anna. Glorious. We've had lots of other adventures, museum trips, etc. I do run out of energy if I do too much, so Steve tries to get me to "rein it in" and rest more during the day. But compared to recent months, it's "all good".
So we are getting ready for Christmas and New Year's, our cruise, and Sarah & Matt's expected baby arrival and then see what's what at the next evaluation. So keep the prayers and good thoughts coming our way. I really know that they work!
xxxxx
