Andrés and Sandra --

Thanks for your recent inquiry. I'm feeling quite a bit better, that is, getting some strength back. The surgery and subsequent radiation worked wonders in relieving the pain. The worst consequence was dibilitating weakness, but it has been a couple of weeks since the last radiation treatment and I get stronger daily.

I'm more able to sit at my computer for longer periods now, so I'm getting back in touch with the world (at least the Mudcat part).

At the end of the month I have an appointment with the chemotherapy doctor, so we'll see from there.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support and healing thoughts. I'm certain I would not have made it to this point without you!

It's a beautiful Spring here, and I thank the powers that be, and all of you that I'm able to enjoy it.

Mary
