Hello again everyone and thanks for all your prayers.

We had a fantastic visit with my two brothers. John and his wife Dorthy from Tulsa, OK. and Pete from Amherst, TX. Then their daughter Heather from Ft. Worth came for one day and it was good to see her, since it had been 4 years. They left here and went to Las Vegas and spent almost 1 week with all 4 of their kids. Jeff lives in LV, Rob came from Albany, NY. and Jenifer and her husband came from OK. They are all back home now but said they had a great time. My brother John turned 76 on May 15., so from now and until Dec. 13 when I have my next birthday, we are exactly 10 years apart. The rest of the year, we are 9 and 1/2 years apart. This is the only way I can remember how old we both are. We were both born in during the depression years. John in 1932 and myself in 1942.

My neice Robin and her husband Don are coming for a visit in JUne. they are on their way to Oregon to look for a piece of property to build their retirement home on. I was hoping they would move closer to us. They are from Lubbock,TX.

I stayed up way to late last night so I definitely need to go to bed earlier tonight. I've actually been dozing while checking my e-mails. One of these days, I am going to fall out of my chair and hit the floor.

Please keep the prayers going. We know they are working. We love you all.

Hello: It has been awhile since I updated this blog. We have had a lot of company which we have totally enjoyed, but it did not leave me time to post. My brother Pete from Texas was here for 4 days, then my brother John and his wife Dorthy from Tulsa, OK were here for a week. It was great having them here. We had not seen them in almost a year.

I finished my radiation treatments on May 12, and I am completely done with radiation. We will take a break from chemo as well for about 5 weeks.then I will have an MRI on May 21 then meet with my primary oncologist on June 16 to go over the next step which will be a regimine of 5 days oral chemo every month then nothing the rest of the month. Dr. Hui (Huey) said this round of chemo will be stronger and might make me sick. I will still have Zofran available to take if I need it, which I probably will since I am such a wimp when it comes to throwing up. I hate it. She also said that my energy level should come back slowly. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

It is late and I am getting sleepy, have not stayed up this late in awhile, so goodnight and I will update later. Thanks again for all the prayers. We love you all, Maxine
