An overdue summary of the goings on since last post

On February 3, 2010, we learned TerriLyn's cancer had spread to her liver.
Very sad and disheartened were we. In fact,
Everybody who loves and cares for us was sad. Nevertheless,
Resilient we are; resilient we must be. Ready we are for the next phase of this journey.
Damned chemotherapy (different drugs).
Ugly birthday - chemo on number 41!
Exciting birthday weekend with Karla and Teri from Seattle! Then...

Sucky hospitalization due to too few white cells.
Ucky thrush from mouth to...uh...south.
Maybe this chemo does more harm than good. Then...
March 9, 2010: normal white, improved red/hemogl., decreased alk phos = chemo worked!
A few adjustments (lower chemo dose, more frequent infusions) leads to...
Renewed hope, reason for celebration, reason to thank...
You!

Thanks to each of you for your encouragement, hugs, tears, smiles, text messages, telephone calls, incredible meals, packages, friendship, love, and amazing contribution to the well-being of our family. We love and appreciate you tremendously.

XOXO
