update

I finished the first chemo round 3 weeks ago. Got to feeling pretty bad by the 3rd chemo day and continued for a couple weeks.
Now into my 2nd chemo round. First two days doing pretty well. The pre-meds (steroids, anti-nausea) are nice. I'm going for my 3rd treatment of this round today.

Had good news on Tuesday - my CA-125 (cancer marker) is down to 10. This is where it was a year ago. Will be great if I can keep it down at that level.

Kids are doing well. Really busy with end of school year activities. Jamie has a dance show this Friday and Saturday. He is in 3 dances. Jodi gets to take the SAT test on Saturday - oh boy!

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and support.

  1. Glad to know you're hanging in there with your treatment and that your CA-125 is back to 10. We're also busy with all the end of the school year activities. I'll be glad when May is over.

    Take care and stay strong!

  2. Hi Cheri. Just a note to say that we were sorry you and Theresa and the kids couldn't make it up to Denver when the Erwins were all here a few weeks ago. It was great to see all who were here, but not quite the houseful we had hoped for. The highlights were Luke's lacrosse and Emmy's birthday. What a little cutie she is!

    It is amazing to read your entries and hear the strength in you through your words. Keep up the battle! There are more people than you know pulling for you -

  4. Hi Cherry,

    Very glad to hear good news from you. You really deserve your cancer marker down. I am very impressed by your courage.

    Glad also to see that the kids are preparing end year activities. You must be proud of them and surely they are so proud of you.

    My daughter Jade grows each day (what she says/asks each morning) and she is no more a baby (turning 5 in July) as she was when she arrived at Sage Cottage. She still talks about You, Susanna and Mrs Beth. She also remembers the tattoos you gave her picturing the school. She loves tattoos. Keep printing them for the children and many thanks for your brilliant and friendly pre-school.

    All my strength,

    kind regards - Olivier Bouland abroad (France)
