In loving memory of our friend Gerry ...

Paul and I lost a very dear friend this week, Gerry Lee, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was Paul’s fishing mentor and friend for over two years and he and his wife, Susan, have been a strong support for me on an almost daily basis.

Gerry, you will always be in our hearts.








And, about that other issue in my life ...

Paul and I saw my oncologist yesterday morning. My CT scan showed that one of the tumors was wiped out by the chemo, the other two are reduced in size, but still present. My CA 125 has doubled in the last month. The long and the short of it is: the chemo helped, but probably because I was unable to take the last 2 platinum doses, due to my allergic reaction, the cancer is most likely coming back. I have a couple of treatment options (going back on chemo is one, not really considering this as an option) but the one I’m choosing is acupuncture and Chinese herbs, more exercise and regular sex (as opposed to irregular).

Love to you all,
