Hello,
I am doing great. Feeling better all the time. Oh and by the way, I DID eat suschi. It was wonderful.
My sister is coming in Friday to help us out while Napper & I make a quick trip out of town. We look forward to visiting with her when we get back.
I have increased my work hours a little bit this week and that has worked out fine. It has been fun to see people that I have not seen in months. Of course sometimes they don't recognize me right away. That's understandable. My hair is much darker, wavier and shorter and I am still thinner than before tmt.
Thank you everything.
Sincerely,
Denise

Hello, Spring is here and it is snowing. Our seasons are mixed up this year. We had a great time in St. Louis. It was a fast trip. Bonnie had a good meet. She didn't quite have the scores she had hoped for but she put up a good fight and we are very proud of her.
I am doing great too. I am continuing to gain weight. I have enough energy to start exercising and I am not near as tired at the end of the day as I was even a week ago. The last couple days have been terrific.
Thanks for your continued prayers. It is good to be out and seeing people again. I am ready for the "real spring"
Feeling grateful,
Denise

Hello,
Things are going pretty good. I met with my Oncologist this week and we are still calling it a partial remission. No treatment prescrbed. I will follow up in June with a CT of my chest. All my doctors are thrilled with my response to treatment thus far.
I did return to work last week. Just about 12 hours for the week. I have to ease into this. It was tiring, but this week I felt stronger yet so I am coming along.
My esophagus cooperates most of the time. Once in a while if I forget to eat slow and chew well, I will get food stuck. That is pretty tramatic. Thankfully, so far I can get it to go one way or the other with water. I have gained a few pounds and happy about that. Probably need to gain more, or at least that seems to be the concensus.
We head to St.Louis on Saturday for Bonnie's State Gymnastic Meet. She is pumped. We plan to get together with Uncle Larry and Aunt Judy while there, we are looking forward to that.
Thanks so much for all your prayers. I feel so fortunate and blessed to be writing this letter. I am looking forward to Spring. Our bulbs are emerging and are such a symbol of new life.
God Bless,
Denise

Hello,
I had CT scans today of the neck and chest. Everything looked good. There is no lymph node enlargement. I will meet with my Oncologist next week to get the official word.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Hello,
Yes, I am continuing to progress with my eating. No sushi yet but I am getting most of my calories from solid foods. Eating is still somewhat of a chore, though improving. I am able to maintain my weight.
I have CT scans of my neck and chest on Monday. I feel confident that they will look good. Next week I do have some work hours scheduled. I am very much looking forward to that.
Tomorrow we head to Springfield,MO for a gymnastics meet then to St. Louis in a couple weeks for the state meet. That will wrap up the gymnastics' season. I think Bonnie is ready!
I continue to be blessed with the kindness of so many people. I appreciate your cards, calls, visits, emails, meals and prayers.
Love, Denise
