Thank you for your support, prayers and cheers along the way!
On Sunday, I returned home from Brazil.
On Monday, I had a CT scan.
While I would LOVE to report that the scan showed no tumors and only stitches from spiritual surgeries in Brazil, that was not the case.
It looks like everything grew. I’m not surprised, because I have some discomfort in spots on my abdomen and pelvis. My CEA is the highest it has been, and I am bloated.
I’m not excited about starting chemo again. In fact, I kept my doctor talking for over an hour, pathetically and desperately postponing the start of my infusion.
But that appointment ended and now I sit in the infusion waiting room. I am so grateful to have had the four months off, and now am very grateful for any prayers and positive energy that you can send my way for a smooth healing treatment.
Lots of love,
Marie
Ah Marie, I so understand. Cancer without treatment (in the short term) offers higher quality of life. However, we are going after the quantity too, so we do what we have to do. Thinking of you…(and thought of you yesterday as I rowed a boat for the first time in forever).

YOU GO GIRL! Rowing! I love that!!! So happy you got to do it. Do you think you will go again?
You are so right about balancing quantity vs quality of life. Much more interesting as a theoretical (rather than real-world) discussion…
Oh poop! I’m sorry to hear that! Prayers & vibes sent from Pittsburgh!
Sent from my mobile device.
I love you, Marie.
I’m praying for you and sending you healing energy!
I’m sending you love and healing prayers…and in awe of the gratitude that you can muster in the face of a disappointing CT scan.
Thanks so much, Jon.

All of my thoughts and prayers are with you! My whole family has you in our prayers!
Miracles DO Happen! We made it to Belize and with the new meds John is on (new type of steroid), he has actually been able to have enough energy to take 5 hr trips into the jungle etc. without using a bathroom!
We snorkled with rays and a loggerhead turtle yesyerday. I could cry with joy! This is exactly what I prayed for!
And now my prayers will turn to you!
Much love
Beth
Beth, SO glad that you are on that trip!!! I LOVE hearing that! Woo Hoo!
I was joining you in prayer and so glad that they were answered in such a powerful way.
Love,
Marie
My energy has been flagging up here in Greenville; now I have a place to put it! Sending every positive vibe your way, as well as my prayers for healing and as little discomfort as possible….
Praying for your peace and comfort, Marie.
Oh, Marie, I am so sorry to hear this news. I am lifting you up right now to the Great Physician. I am praying that the chemo will attack the cancer with a vengeance. Your amazing attitude and positive energy serves you well. Stay strong. Know that you are loved and that there are many of us praying for you. Love Always, Diane
SENDING EVERYTHING I’VE GOT! SITTING SILENTLY AND SENDING AND SENDING. SO GLAD YOU KNOW HOW TO RECEIVE.

Sorry to hear about this set-back, Marie, but I know you will keep fighting. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care, Tom
Thanks, Tom. This is just what I needed to hear; it’s been a rough week.
Marie – thinking of you and sending prayers and strength from Australia. In reading your posts over your summer and from your trip to Brazil I feel you have really strengthened yourself for the treatment you now face and that has to help you get through it. X…kathy
I’m around today and this weekend if you want to walk? Xxh
