Jürgen and I decided it was time for you to hear from me personally. I want to thank each of you for your support. I am constantly amazed and humbled at the cheering section I have.
I was scheduled for my 4th chemo this last Tuesday, but my platelets were low and we have to wait. If my labs are fine on Monday, I will have the treatment next Tuesday. In the meantime, I have been stocking up on iron. I am not the best meat eater, so I have been munching dried fruit, nuts, beans, and other iron-rich foods.
I continue to work and try to walk or ride some every day. I am very tired and get sick sometimes, but, generally, life is somewhat normal. I am looking forward to our annual trip to Albuquerque for Jürgen's birthday next weekend. We usually cross-country ski, but this year we will hike. When I asked Dr. Phillips about skiing (even cross-country) he jumped a little and said, "You scare me." I decided not to mention the mountain bike.
Again thanks for being there for me. I look forward to this all being over soon.

Hi Judy!
Don't forget blackstrap molasses! (I don't eat meat much either so I know what you mean). My mother used to make us eat liver as kids-for iron-but that hasn't passed my lips in over 40yrs!
The dogs certainly liked those dinners-because they got the bulk of it slipped to them under the table.
Have a great trip to NM!!!
Hugs,
Cindi :>
It is great to hear from you and always great to see you! We are cheering for your successes and wish you a happy, healthy new year!
Love,
Stacy & Andy
Judy, you haven't heard from me or Mike, but I check the web page often to see how you are doing.
We are thinking of you and are excited about the progress you are making.
