I want to finally update all of you dear family and friends on the most up to date news with what has been going on in my life.

I am so excited to report that my last chemotherapy session was February 9th as most of you already knew.

I met with Dr. Gottlieb on Tuesday, March 2nd and he told me that he was very happy with how well my body and the cancer in my body responded to all the chemo. He didn't use the word remission, but from what he told me he made it sound like that is what he believed. I will have a CT scan sometime in July and then in August I will begin my first of four Rituxan maintenance treatments at the infusion therapy center through an IV. They will be every six months for two years.

In the beginning of March we went with friends to Cancun, Mexico and traveled at no cost to us. They had a timeshare for us to stay at and enough frequent flyer miles for us all to fly. They wanted to bless us with the trip to celebrate the end of my chemo. We had an awesome time of relaxation in the sun!!

I praise God for all He has done in my life and the healing that occurred in my body!!!! I want to thank all of you for your prayers, cards, words of encouragement, delicious meals and many gifts!!!!! I am truly blessed to have you all in my life!!

I will remember these last 7 1/2 months that God has brought me through for the rest of my life!
