Good News

Hello to all ( if anyone is still out there). I have been remiss in keeping this blog updated.

Today I met with my oncologist Dr. Calvo and got the results from the PET scan done Monday at 7 AM. He said it was clear and used the words "complete remission." We will continue with the Avastin and Alimta as maintenance which he says is the latest recommendation from research. He says we are in "uncharted territory" because we are beyond the time length of clinical trials. My blood counts were good and he said if they were being done to get a life insurance policy, I would get the policy. I hope I am quoting acurately or at least close.

We were not blown away in the storm Sept. 14, and have been very busy working, doing Optimist work, and traveling to Chicago to see and hear Jim in Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story. Jim's movie, The Express, has been released but we have not seen it yet.

This past week, Roy and I ran the 10K at the Minster Oktoberfest, I ran the 5K Walk Wiggle and Wobble at the Paragon (Fairfield, OH)Optimist Club. It is a breast cancer benefit. Sunday we biked from Xenia to Yellow Springs and back with some Presby Pair friends. This fall weather has been great.

Last Thursday, I completed my year as President of the Dayton Presidents Club with the Legion of Honor Luncheon and tomorrow I drive to St. Louis to assume my new duties on the Optimist International JOOI committee. With the report I got today, I am going to try to worry less and get more accomplished.

Thanks for all of the good wishes and prayers. I hope all is well with you.
