Phew!
Blood work normal, CT scan unremarkable. Exactly what we wanted to hear. There is still some outstanding bloodwork, which should be in Friday, but we're feeling so much relief. Thanks for all your kind thoughts!
By the way, since March when I started fundraising in earnest, I've raised about $2000 for the Ride to Conquer Cancer. Six weeks to go until the Ride, and I'm still about $5000 short. Can you help make up the difference? Just click here to make a secure online donation, or here to download a mail-in form!

How you can help
In 2009, 3530 cyclists raised $14.5 million in the Ride to Conquer Cancer. My final tally... $8310! Funds raised support cancer teaching, research and care at the Campbell Family Institute of the Princess Margaret, one of the top 5 cancer research centres in the world.
I want to thank everyone who made this happen. You are my heroes.
I will be riding in the 2010 RTCC. Fundraising will take a different path this year, but if you wish to make an easy online donation, please click here!

by a rocky shore,
winds blowing wildly,
in a boat unmoored -
such is our condition

Yee Haa Bob! That is soooooo exciting! Sorry haven't written lately... no good excuse other than I am so exhausted when I get upstairs at night talking on fb or the phone seems unimaginable :) Not a good enough excuse I know. You are in my thoughts and prayers often.
Wondering whether you might be interested in having me host a fundraiser/shower/meet Matty next weekend (friday the 8th) when you are here... or is that not a possibility?! Will try to call tomorrow when home from TO. LOVE YA

Oh, this is fabulous news!!!!
I have been thinking about the three of you all week.
May you rest well and easy now.
Please give that unbelievably charming Matty a hug from me. He is very special.
Have a fabulous weekend!
