Good News again!

Tom and I had a great trip last week. We sailed on the Disney Wonder. We left Port Canaveral on Sunday, arrived at Disney's Castaway Cay on Monday and spent the day on the beach. It was so relaxing sitting on the beach, reading, going into the beautiful turquoise water. On Tuesday we cruised around the Carribean just for a day at sea. I went to the spa for manicure and pedicure and lots of pampering. Tom hung out with his friends Debbie and Greg. It was a perfect day to recuperate and de-stress. Wednesday we returned to Castaway Cay for more beach time, and Thursday we came home. The weather was perfect and the seas were calm.

I was scheduled for my chemo on Friday, but my platelets were down too low to get it. So I had a week to build them up again, and had chemo yesterday. It went well and my marker number continues to drop and is now 5. Plus I only have one more treatment to go! I am so excited. Prayers work and miracles happen! I will find out what the follow-up will be when I see the oncologist early in November.

I have So much to be thankful for, and I continue to prayer that all the prayers will be answered. I truly am blessed to have so many people pulling for me and I thank you all for your continuing support and encouragement.
Till next time :-) Bets
