Dear Friends -  It has been some time since I last updated everyone on Candy journey.  The past couple of weeks have been very good for Candy.  While I would not say “normal” but very tolerable.  Her last infusion was Wed, 11/15 and after the first week Candy has felt good - not great- but good.  She still tires easily but has not had a great deal of feeling really crummy.  The past 7-10 days she has been very active around the house and she actually made her monthly pilgrimage to Canton last Friday - the first time in probably 6 months.  She is out shopping today with our daughters, Jessica and Melissa (who has come in from Denver for a few days).  BIG news this week is Candy’s 80th birthday is tomorrow 12/5 which we will celebrate with our annual Christmas Light Carriage Ride and the dessert.  Wednesday is her 3rd infusion of 4 so if the schedule is maintained her last infusion will be on Dec 27th.  That will complete her initial treatment.  We are assuming, which we will try to confirm Wednesday the continued treatment.  We are told it will be 15 months of some type of follow up/treatment.  We would like to re-institute the Walking Ms Candy program if the weather will cooperate - more on that next week.  So all is good as we enter this season of Christmas.   We are grateful for so much but one of our biggest blessing is you - her friends. She continues to receive Get Well cards which really lift her spirits - thank you so much.
