Hi everyone:
Kathleen's recent blood tests revealed a fairly dramatic increase in one of the cancer markers. Her oncologists opted to have Kathleen undergo an MRI to check for visible progression of her cancer. Fortunately, the scan found no progression. So, while the increased counts in her blood are a bit discouraging, she is so far showing no signs of further deterioration.
Kathleen and Don went away for a mini-holiday this past week. I guess they did a fair amount of walking, which couldn't have been easy either for Kathleen (with pain in her back) or for Don (recovering from a foot/ankle injury). Still, they both said they had a good time.
Patty and I visited with Kathleen at her home last night. She continues to be in good spirits, and looks well.
Love,
Brian
