Ingrid,

We've all been through a lot including you. I'm hoping that

's neuropathy starts to go away. Her onc doesn't usually give

the best news telling her that it may never go away, but we'll try

anything to help her. I pray every day that this is the last we see

of that nasty ole devil " Cancer " . But we are better prepared for it

now than we were 8 months ago.

Bless You,

Dan &

Hey! The end of treatment is in sight. Hooorah for . Hope the B6 is

helping her some with the neuropathy.

I am with you on that Dan. Postive thinking has a lot to do with getting

through an ordeal like this. If I did not think positively I would not have

the job I have now.. I truly believe taking that job and proving that I can

still work a good 8 hour day is the best decision I ever made. I feel more

in control of my life. I still hurt, and think the pain in my legs is more

neuropathy than anything else. I didn't have this before chemo or during,

just since. It is not pleasant but I won't let it get me down. With

's determination and your support she can and I am sure had beaten this

disease..

God Bless Jolene

Dan, I found this message so supportive and inspiring that I have

saved it to read on the not so good days. It acknowledges the

sadness and the love and the need for strength.

I wish you and a Happy New Year, especially blessed with a

lack of chemotherapy! Well done to both of you.

This was Matt's treatment week so we had a lovely Christmas followed

by some grim days this weekend. I know he will feel much better

tomorrow morning though. He is a " doer " so feeling down and low in

energy does not suit him. I am proud of the way he is meeting this

challenge though. Yes it can make you stronger as a couple, Matt

just said the other day how happy he is that we have such a strong

and loving marriage.

Take care and enjoy the good times to come,

Love Fran
