This person shown below, having walked 1000 miles since this all began, is now aiming, for her next goal , at 2000 …
A journey of a thousand miles
This has been a time of great challenge. Luke went to an academic conference in Chile. Ellen has retaken the opportunity to enjoy her favorite winter sport. It was springtime in Chile. And a time of great social mobilization and discontent with government. Santiago was lovely. Luke gave the opening talk at the Ninth Colloquium …
Ha llegado la nieve
Caminamos ayer al hospital para el tratamiento. El mes que esta terminando fue uno de los Octubres más frios en la historia de Gunnison, que es decir mucho. Ahora midmo la temperatura es -23 C.

The Challenge Ahead of Us

An Update to All of You

This was the first of six treatments in the new series; a different set of medications from the previous treatment. They are scheduled to go on into January. The results of the previous rounds …
Cambio de Planes Para el Jueves
Una de las cosas que hemos aprendido a aguantar en los últimos meses ha sido cambio constante: cambio de planes, cambio de expectativas, cambio de direcciones. Espero que no ha sido tan agotador para Uds. que para nosotros. Otro cambio: la quimioterapÃa programado para el jueves ya no empieza en la mañana, per a la …
