Hello dear friends and relatives:  Had my quarterly scan and labs.  Everything continues to look very good!  I am so thankful for God's blessings.  THe only minor thing is my hemoglobin is not going up much from last quarter - so the oncologist will give it a good boost with an infusion this week for 15 min and next week.  He thinks I can maintain the level  of iron I need then.  For the past 3 months I have been very faithfully taking his recommended plant based iron supplement 2 times a day.  And it will be nice to have more energy after the infusions.   So in the future I only have to see the oncologist every 6 months.  As long there is no problem with future scans and labs I won't be in touch  with you through Caring Bridge, but I so often reflect on your great support in so many ways - and will continue to do so.  May you be blessed.    Marilyn
