Another Birthday, Another Year

The Birthday Queen

Greetings ~

My blog update has been long overdue.  So here I am, happy to report that my CT scan last month shows all is well, thanks be to God.  It has been three and a half years since the diagnosis.  My daily back pain is a small reminder and a small price to pay for a merciful and miraculous recovery.  Every day I learn new ways to manage it and I do all the things necessary to lessen it.  And it works!

April has been quite a month, full of activity:  I celebrated another birthday--another year of life.  I shared it with my daughter Monica and granddaughter Maria--we are all April 17 girls.  They came down to visit with many of the family so we had a very exciting and joyful weekend.  Planning to do it all over again next year, God willing.

Many thanks for your continued prayers.

Peace & Blessings ~ Mimi

What a Difference a Year Makes!

 "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalms 90:12

It's been a really long time since my last update.  2012 started on a good note and I am happy to report that we are very close to 2013 and all is well.  Thanks be to God and thanks for all your support, well wishes and prayers.  April marked the 1st year anniversary of my big operation and I also celebrated a birthday.  Last month I had my latest check up and CT and was given a great report:  no sign of cancer!

I was recently referred to as a "walking miracle" and I do believe that's true.  I will update my blog again at the end of November with pictures of the PurpleStride Pancreatic Cancer Walk/Run in Tampa that I plan to attend with my family.

When I'm 64!  Who could ask for more?
