Hello there!

Sorry, it has been ages since the last update.  This is primarily due to the fact that things have gone so well.  At the time of this update, our Gladiator has completed the gauntlet of chemotherapy!  This last week the doctors decided to take a look-see inside her body to determine what developments there had been after surgery and post-chemotherapy.   The answer:  Linda had NO CANCER in her abdomen!  I wish it could be said that she’s 100% cancer free, however such a proclamation is not possible because a set of lymph nodes that had been afflicted were either not imaged or their current status omitted from the radiological report.  Nonetheless, it appears miracles can & do happen, even to those loved ones in our inner circles.   Thank God for modern medicine; not too long ago this simply would not have been possible.

The road ahead:  maintenance infusions (more, but far less aggressive chemotherapy) every three weeks with regular blood tests to check for cancer markers.   The second best news is that our Gladiator now gets her hair back 😄😀
