Monday update

Hi everyone, Lainey went in for her work and pre chemo medical today, and the good news is last weeks ca 125 came back and it's 9, which is normal !!! We now anxiously await her c.t. scan in 2 weeks. If it shows the cancer in her Liver has shrunk , as i hope it will , we will be staying with this regimen, and hopefully knock it down for a good long time. As far as we know Elaine won't be able to stop having the chemo , as it would come right back, so she'll be living with it, but the emphasis is on LIVING. It's amazing what you'll settle for when the chips are down. Living with chemo is tough but it beats the alternative. She'll have her chemo tomorrow, please continue to pray for her.
Renee one of our clients gave Elaine some beautiful earrings today and told her to "celebrate life." Lainey cried, i cried and we almost swerved off the freeway !! Thank you Renee for your generosity and kind encouraging words ! So often we have opportunities to show kindness to others, a word, a deed, a smile , a hug. Don't let these opportunities pass you by, seize the day and show someone you care. Love to all Keith.
