We walked to the hospital Wednesday last, for Ellen's chemotherapy infusion. Mike Ritchey was also with us, but he was the one who took the picture. Ellen has achieved her goal of walking 1000 km during her chemotherapy. We must thank Orquidea Blanco, who was, while we walked, helping us at our house, and who …

Eight
We had hoped that six chemotherapy infusions would be enough for Ellen, and that is what we thought for a long time. Then it turned out that the doctors recommended two more treatments. As Lincoln said: "Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray"that this will pass away. The support of friends and family is …
Amor y Apoyo
Estamos en un camino que no es facil. Lo que lo hace mucho menos difÃcil es el apoyo que tenemos de amigos y de familia. Hay tantos que nos han mostrado su solidaridad que no es posible nombrar a todos. Saben que estan con nosotros siempre, y que no hemos olvidado los cariños. Tuvimos una …
In the clouds
Ellen had her most recent infusion three days ago. Before she did that, she accomplished her goal of 500 miles of walking during treatment. And since her chemotherapy has now been extended, the new goal is a total of 1000 km. (Including what she has already done). We did have a good week last week. …
Once more unto the breach, dear friends
It was a bit of a blow, after thinking that Ellen had completed chemotherapy, and all the difficulties that it implies, and to instead be told that no, the test results are not yet good enough, and yes, there is more chemotherapy ahead. It took a few seconds to be sure that was what we …
Una vez más
Después de tener ilusiones de haber terminado, y la noticia que debo tener otras sesiones de néctar, estoy lista. Y la primera noticia fue que el seguro médico negó el pedido… pero finalmente lo aprobaron y el miércoles 24 de julio es la próxima. Esta vez a las 9 de la mañana, asà que, si …
Harder news
We have had so much good news lately that we were not fully prepared to receive harder news yesterday. The previous tests all seemed to be informing us that they were unable to detect any remaining cancer. The last test before Ellen’s meeting yesterday with her gynecological oncologist at Swedish Hospital in Denver was a …
Dias más dificiles
Hemos tenido tantas buenas noticias que no fuimos completamente preparados ayer por noticias más duras. Las pruebas anteriores nos estuvieron informando que no podÃan detectar más cancer. La última prueba antes de nuestra reunión ayer con el oncólogo en Denver era un tipo nuevo de escaneo, tomografÃa electrónica de protones. Y este escaneo, nos informaron …
