Send a Few Extra, Please

Many people know that Ed was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer last fall. He had some chemo in Virginia and has continued that here in Florida. Tomorrow he is having a CAT scan and we meet with his oncologist on Friday. His scans from October will be compared and we are hoping and praying that his tumors have shrunk. Our next step will be considered and determined at that time. He is feeling fine and has had almost no reaction to his treatments, other than some fatigue. Please send up a few extra prayers on Ed's behalf this week.

One half dozen prayers said--and more to be ordered!
Hope you all are enjoying the warmth, BURRRR chilly here! Rain / ice and 30at night and 60 during the day, no wonder my sinus are all gunked up! Just remember that you are both LOVED!
We miss ya,

Hey guys

Lorraine told me Ed's news. What a shocker. Our prayers go with you on your travels - if anyone can get this under control, it's Ed. He's so stubborn no cancer is going to get him. Give him a big hug from his cousin in the north - where it's going down to 4 BELOW ZERO- but it's bright and sunny and I kind of like it.

STAY POSITIVE.

It's nice to know that relatives in Canada (Ed grew up in Montreal) are reading our blog. You can keep the cold weather....Ed's complaining if it gets down to the 60's here. I think the RV is a wonderful, positive diversion that keeps Ed's mind occupied and keeps us motivated. We both just love being in our little "nest." Having the cat with us adds some good entertainment, too. We are planning a trip out West this summer. Keep in touch, OK?
Cheerio,
