This is our first series of updates in almost a year. We have begun our 2011 summer and fall travels and will try to be more diligent in making posts about our travels and activities.
Our last series of postings were in August 2010 while we were in Mackinaw City, Michigan. As I believe you all know, we interrupted our travels to return to SC for a series of medical exams for Monique that ultimately lead to a diagnosis of a type of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma called SLL/CLL. This is a slow growing form of cancer that at present requires no treatment. We also went to Duke University for a second opinion which confirmed the diagnosis (see November post.) Monique is on what is generally called “Watch and Wait”. So we are periodically returning to SC somewhere between 4 to 6 months for tests and visits with the Oncologist. We are thankful that no treatment has been required so far, and we appreciate all your prayers and good wishes.
Except for a short break to travel up to Duke University Medical Center, we stayed in Columbia from August until mid-December. We enjoyed meeting some new friends and spending time with them and our other friends we see at the Barnyard RV Park when in Lexington. Then we headed to Florida for the winter which is discussed as you work backward in some of the following posts.
Note: This Blog works backward from the most current posting. As you reach the bottom of the page, there will be an arrow or link pointing to the next set of postings.
