Good News!!

I can't begin to tell all of you how greatful I am for your prayers, positive thoughts, and well wishes. My office visit with Dr. Pulver was very, very good. The blood test that revealed the cancer has dropped further; from 540 something to 270 and the tumor marker that started out at 728 is now down to 151 with a goal of getting it below 10. We have come quite a ways and we will continue, one step at a time. I did lose some more weight but not very much. They were happy because it was dropping too rapidly. He explained that the pain in my back and legs and feet is always going to be there because we found the cancer in such an advanced state but we can try our best to control it with medication. I feel very good and very positive.

Our squirrel feeder is going to have to be replenished. Once they discovered it, they really went to town. Lots of hummingbird activity today and the other birds have emptied the dish feeder. So you can see we have lots of activity out in the yard. Life is good, life is beautiful; please take time to feel the good things!

I am so very very happy! A little bit of cancer cloud just evaporated and turned into sunshine (with no radiation, either)!

Love you ma!
