Dear Family and Friends,

It's been almost a month since I last posted and do apologize. Work has kept me so busy and Soroosh is almost back to normal energy wise so we are spending more time outside the house away from the computers. : ) He has gained 15lbs and completed his first round of golf this past weekend (he took the cart) and really enjoyed himself. He plans to play again this Saturday.

We have his next big round of tests in May to check his Tumor markers and a CT scan to check for growth of the tumors. We try not to think about it but it's always in the back of our minds. Probably the most difficult part has been thinking about the future. Have children or be an awesome aunt or uncle. Stay in the condo or move into a bigger home. So for the time being we are pushing that all to the side and reassessing a year from now.

He continues to see Dr. Rubin our Homeopathic/Oncologist and is taking lots of supplemental goodies and the naturopath said he need phosphorous so he had his dose and went back today. Mom is researching juicers for us so we can start making pure carrot juice without all the preservatives. Thank goodness we have 2 Whole Foods Markets near us but the grocery bill has gone up as well.

Soroosh plans to go home for a short visit in May and then towards the end of June for a friends wedding. I have prom and then testings so he will make the trip solo and I plan to go back for a few weeks in July before school starts. I am trying to convince my sister to bring my niece Cheza for a visit in June. We shall see! Must run and will post again once we have the next wave of tests in May.

God Bless,

Rosemary

Dear Family and Friends,

Soroosh would love to hear from you over the next month. I thought this would be a great way to stay connected since is will be hard on us both so far away from the comforts of our home, family and friends.
