Dear Family and Friends,
Today as I write I am thinking of the times I had to really stretch to find some news. Well, today as I write I just have to say I don’t know very much, but I have had symptoms, a CAT scan, and blood work that say I have had a recurrence of my cancer. I had a wonderful 9 month respite, but now we are back in the battle. I see the docs during the end of Holy Week, so it will be after Easter or around then when we will have made the decisions about what to do. Because I did feel so good, and all of my tests were so good, it was very disappointing to have it come back so soon.
Tennis, hiking and going over to volunteer at Salesian are really my physical and psychological therapy. I do especially enjoy being outdoors when I can. It’s also just time to get the garden going, so, I definitely have to figure that in.
So, rather than going on and on, I feel as if I should just get this news out there. Do know that your prayers are always my great sense of hope and support.
Love Annie/Noel
