Hello Friends , Sorry we have taken a little longer than planned to update you but round one of chemo was a little tougher on me than I remember. I had to lay low for a week after chemo but then got my energy back and have been enjoying my days ever since. The plan for chemo is to have treatments every 21 days for 3 rounds then a CT scan and off to Winnipeg in early June to see how things are progressing. They have suggested to us that we may have as many as 12 rounds but will monitor things and decide accordingly.
On a lighter note MEME is at the hairdressers getting a makeover. Keep an eye out for her return!! Easter was very special at our house as our son Kyle arrived home and we were able to spend time together as a family with Mandy and the boys. Kyle is busy back at work saving money to complete his 4th year of business in the fall. Amanda and boys are all good. Our little monkeys are growing up fast and keep life so fun. Sawyer is 3 1/2 years old and will start playing soccer 2 nights a week. We are really excited to watch him start in the world of sports. Frazer is 20 months old and is always smiling and chatting and keeping things busy for his mommy.
Kelly has left his job and has joined Caring Companions. Our Family is so happy for him. He is very excited to be able to work closer to home and along side me. He recently won a trip for 2 to Las Vegas. We are really excited about that as we have never been there and have always wanted to go and check it out.
I'm feeling stronger and more confident each day and keeping my positive spirit. Will be good to have round 2 behind us. Keep up the prayers , phone calls , visits and hugs for me and my family.
MUCH LOVE Always, Donna
