Saw Dr.S today for my MRI results. It has been 4 months since I had to stop the chemo, I don't know if it is modern medicine, positive thinking or all the people praying for me, but the tumor is smaller again! So we continue with no treatments and have another MRI in 12 weeks. My blood counts are low but stable and I am feeling good to be alive again!
We intend to enjoy the long weekend and hope that you do too!
Thanks again for everything,
Love,
Karen and the gang

Dentists
I am finally starting to feel alive again! I've even been puttering around the yard - doing nothing fast - but is so good to be outside! Then Lucky me looses a filling. It is off to the dentist today for hopefully a quick fix. The last time I saw her she told me that if I ever lost that particular one I would need a crown. Wish me luck! I think I have a true phobia of dentists!
I had another repeat MRI done yesterday. I get the results on Friday. I am keeping my fingers crossed!
We have entered a team to walk (2.5 km) in the Spring Sprint with all proceeds going to the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada. If you would like to join us on the walk - let me know and I'll get the info off to you and yours. Oh yeah the walk/run is on June 5th. I'll be the one at the end!
So once again thanks for all the love, support, and prayers that we continue to receive. If you have any extra please send them to all the people who are battling the flooding - especially those along the Assiniboine River and in Oakville.
Love,
Karen and gang

104
No that's not my age.....but sometimes I feel like it!! It's my hemogloubin! It hasn't been above 100 since March....now thats something to celebrate....maybe I'll take an extra iron pill to reward myself! I don't have to go back to CancerCare till next week for more labs - I love my weekends "off"!
It has been a very busy week around the house. On Thursday our son turned 8! We made smiley face cookies for him to bring to school and on his birthday it was also the school Spring Musical! It was a wonderful concert and it was great to see people! We got him LEGO and he is still busy trying to find the time to finish! He was working on it this morning! I know what he'll be doing after school!
A big thanks to my hairdresser who made a home visit - my hair is starting grow back - but it looked like a mad scientist cut my hair! Neurosurgeons and radiation techs are not great hairdressers! I now have a sleek buzz cut with bangs so it can grow back nice and even!
So once again a big thank you for all those prayers that are being sent our way!
Love,
Karen and family
