I was looking through some files for something completely unrelated and ran into a post I made on 13JAN11...

The redhead is gonna make it


We went in for Beth's last scheduled chemo today and, after the exam by her oncologist, we were told that "There's no sense beating a dead horse." and that she would not have to suffer through another treatment as he could find no trace of her cancer. We are now on a 'maintenance plan' wherein she will have to go in every 3 months for an exam and a CT scan every so often to see if there is a recurrence of the cancer.

Her doctor has decided her middle name is 'Remarkable'.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. They have made the difference.

With kind regards,
Mike and Beth


So much has changed in this past year it makes me shake my head.

Like Byron said a few days back, never pass up the chance to tell someone you love them...it goes by all too quickly.

spending some quality time with Miss Beth was my personal favorite.

You are both in my thoughts, Hoot, the last week especially so, for many reasons.

Thank you all for the care, support and obvious love you have shown for Miss Beth. This, along with that of my family and non-Sixshooter friends, has made all the difference. I am truely blessed.

I don't want to prattle on too much but, overall, I am doing quite well. Better than I expected really. Every now and then, I get slapped upside the head with memories and I can never guess or anticipate what will trigger them. Sometimes it'll be a song on the radio or seeing a hawk and not being able to point it out. Other times, it'll come out of the blue like running into my post from exactly one year back.

Things that help me to know:
Life moves on.
We don't always get to choose.

Anyway, thank you all once again. You have been of great help to me.
