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!

Only one more chemo session!!

My chemo went well on Wednesday the 20th. I felt a little sick and had some headaches, but for the ost part I feel so blessed with how God has continued to cover me with his protection and uplift me with His love! I constantly thank Him for the provision in my life.

Near the end of my chemo session on the 20th, a sweet older lady sat down beside me to get her chemo. She told me her name, but between my memory and the headache I had I forgot it a couple of minutes later and was too embarrassed to ask. She has had a really rough past year, because her husband of 60 years died in February, then in June she was diagnosed with cancer and in August she lost her sister who was her best friend to cancer. I hope to see her again this coming chemo session on February 9th because she told me she gets chemo that day too. She has really been on my heart and I want to be an encouragement to her.

I want to thank you all so much for your prayers, cards, notes of encouragement and all the delicous meals you have prepared and are still bringing. God has blessed me with the most amazing family and friends!!!!

Much Love,

Amy

Tumors are shrinking!

Thank you all for your prayers for me!!! I met with Dr. Gottlieb this morning at 8:30 and he told me that the tumors that are behind my stomach have shrunk about 90% from the first PET scan that I had back on August 20th and about 40-50% from the last PET scan on November 11th. He is very pleased with everything but because the chemotherapy shows that it continues to shrink the tumor he wants to add 2 more chemo treatments so that it can take care of the rest. If it would have shown that no change had occurred he would have started me on my rituxan maintenance treatments but he is happy with the changes that are taking place. So I have a chemo treatment this Wednesday the 20th at 8:30 am and then the last one will be February 9th at 9am.

Once again, thank you all for your continued prayers, love and support!!!! You are all a blessing to me and my family and I thank God for all of you!!!!

Love,

Amy

Right now
