Hello to all,
Dr. Calvo's report on the PET scan taken a week ago was good. He said the results were even better than the the last one six months ago. He thinks the maintenance chemo I have been having since January is the best way to go right now and that without treatment, he thought the cancer would be back in three months. I have learned to live with the fatigue and bad taste which makes me be more creative in managing my schedule and food intake. Last week, I worked as Stand Leader at the Dragons game concessions on Monday, Thursday and Sunday and yesterday walked 18 at Sugar Valley and felt good. I go out to run everyday, but to most people it looks like walking. I just can't let myself give in and be lazy.
For now, the treatment schedule will continue once every four weeks. The next test will be an MRI sometime in August. Keeping my brain condition under control seems to be a priority. That has never been easy!
Thanks for your continuing good thoughts and prayers. They really help.
Margaret

Centerville Relay For Life August 1 and 2, 2009
Relay For Life® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer in our community. At the event, we celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society in its mission to save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.
But, Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another. During this event, we honor survivors during the Survivors Lap and we remember those we lost to cancer during the Luminaria Ceremony. We also celebrate life, friendship, and a chance to work together toward a cancer-free future.

Wow, I know I would be drained walking 18 at Sugar Valley 4 times in a week. Congrats on the good news.

I'm so happy that you have received good news, Margaret. I can't imagine doing all that you do, but since you are doing so well, it must be right for you. Keep up the good work and stay optimistic.
