October and the good news continue

Hello Family and friends,

It has been a long time but all is going well, very well. Since my last post I traveled to Italy with my hubby for a week and I now can drive when not in treatment!!! That means I cannot drive for 5 or 6 days a month. So I CAN drive most of the time.Yeah!!!

In September I had the visit of a dear high school friend from Peru, Patty Delaney. Went to Italy the same month. Now I am planning to get together with my sisters in Orlando on Halloween!! I will be in Florida for a few days.

Last week I went to see my neurosurgeon Dr. Chicoine at Wash U and he confirmed I was doing great and will not have to go back to see him for 4 months!!! My last MRI looked very clean, it is an amazing result. I can see different faces in all my doctors, it is remarkable. It  confirms what I was told at Duke and by my local oncologist Dr. Schultz. It is so wonderful and I feel better everyday.

Since the start of August I have been getting acupuncture and chinese teas. The tea looks like coffee but sometimes it taste terrible, but I feel so much better since I started with the chinese remedies.

In early November I will have a group of friends from Maria Reina come to spend the weekend in St. Louis with my friend Gaby and me, it should be a fun time, I am looking forward to seen my classmates from elementary school!!

Now I have ahead of me about 7 more months to finish my treatment and we will see.
Here the weather is getting colder and my hair is coming back!!

Thanks for all your support, prayers, wishes, I am so blessed with great family and friends.
Love to all of you!
