Hi,

A quick update for you all.

My latest MRI results were presented at the Tumor Board (radiation oncologist/neurosurgeons) meeting last Wednesday. The outcome is that there is some uncertainty about the MRI results. It does not appear to be as "clear cut" as we had hoped. Bottom line....no consensus was found.

The plan...we will wait for 6 weeks and repeat the MRI. It is my hope and belief that there will be nothing there on this repeat MRI. I will keep you all posted.

I will be having my blood work done next week to see how my CA 27-29 is doing. We will also have a complete blood count done next week.

I also go down to Dana Farber on Thursday (4/2) to check in with the breast oncologist (Dr. Lin).

I also began massage and reiki this week. I will have appointments weekly initially and then transition to every other week.

My parents are leaving in less than a week. While I know they have to return to Michigan, I have mixed emotions about them leaving. They have been such a tremendous help and I have really enjoyed their company. It will be another adjustment. I think that we will all go through withdrawl (Khaya and me especially as we are used to spending the most time with them). Darrell's mom will continue to come over to help out on Fridays and once her schedule opens up some, she will add additional days. This will be a huge help for us and will hopefully ease the transition of Mor and Dad leaving.

Well, this is all for tonight. I hope all is well, happy, healthy, and peaceful for you all.

Until next time,
