Hello Everyone!
Time for an update, I guess - it's been almost a month! I went to my oncologist this a.m., and as of last Saturday, May 12th, celebrated 1 year cancer free!!! Yeah!! Now that's something to celebrate! He is concerned, however, with the amount of bone pain that I am having in my shoulders, arms & legs. So, he did more blood work today, and scheduled me for another bone scan next week. We'll just have to pray that it is nothing too serious. He also has schedule for next Thursday, an appointment with my surgeon to have my port taken out, since it has stopped functioning. It was wonderful when it was working and when they needed blood, but now I guess that I'm back to the old fashioned way of the needle in the arm!!
This past week-end, Kurt and Mattie were down for the week-end, and we had such a great time. Had friends over Friday evening for a cookout, and went on The Celebration Belle Dinner Cruise on the Mississippi on Saturday night. Beautiful weather, and "a good time was had by all."
I guess that all for now - take care everyone, and Happy Spring!!
Love,
Karen

Hi Mom,
I can't believe that it has been a year! YEAH!!! Way to go! It may be scary with the pain but we hope that is nothing serious. The arthritis is treatable so maybe once that is under control you will feel better.
We are very excited about coming down in a few weeks to be in the Race for the Cure. I was wonderinf if you could make up some BIG bows and we can put them on the stroller. I have tried to make bows and they look pretty pathetic. The kids we be so excited to ride with the bows and wearing the t-shirts. We can't wait!
Have a great week and keep us updated with all of the appointments.
Great minds must think alike, I just updated my blog too.
Love you,
Krista
