Hello, Monday, I started going for hyperbaric oxygen therapy again. I will have at least 10 more tmts and if it helps we will do another 10 tmts. I continue on liquids and overall I am doing pretty well.

Thanks for your prayers and support.

Love, Denise

Hi, I am happy to report the biopsies of the esophagus came back negative for cancer. A big relief. It is just going to take a long time for the esophagus to heal. That's okay, I am getting this "liquid thing" down. Anyway, the plan will be to scan again in March and regularly there after.

Thanks so much for all your prayers and support.

Love, Denise, Napper, Brian & Bonnie

Hello, I hope the new year is treating everyone well. I am doing fine. I had my EGD last week. My esophagus is still painful and I am still on fluids. There is one area of the esophagus that is not healing. They had done some biopsies before and they show atypical cells. They did more biopsies this time to check for cancer of the esophagus. I will find out on the 23rd when I visit with my Oncologist if there is cancer there and if so what to do next.

I continue to be optomistic. I am working on a nutrition program to try to get stronger.

The rest of the family is doing great. The kids are back to school and busy with all their activities.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers!

Love, Denise

Hello, Happy New Year!! I continue with my hyperbaric oxygen tmts. I have four tmts left. I will have another scope of the esophagus on January 12th, with dilatation. I am getting stronger and maintaining my weight on pretty much all liquids. I am trying to advance abit this week, and have added some baby food. It is nice to have a little variety, but I am still craving suschi.

Napper & Brian are going on a big ice fishing trip to Minn. this weekend with many other scouts. They are very excited. Bonnie and I will stay home and enjoy a visit from Aunt Mary and Aunt Colleen. They are coming from Minn. tomorrow and will stay for the weekend. Bonnie got some knitting supplies for Christmas and she is hoping Aunt Mary will teach her how to knit. Thanks so much for your continued support, prayers and cards.

Sincerely, Denise
