To those of you who attended the benefit last night, THANK YOU! Karen and I so appreciated the genuine concern you have shown for us. Plus the food was great too - special thanks to Doris at Chateau Lamothe for making her entire restaurant and bar area available to us. Of course, Joe and Nicole Sanders did so much to make this happen. There was an abundance of silent auction items and raffle prizes which came from the other parents at Mauri's School of Dance, the Sanders' BNI group, the Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance, and many others.
Karen and I both feel an indebtedness to all of you we can't possibly repay. As I expressed this to one dear friend last night, he told me you will repay by fighting this disease with everything you have. Last night reminded us that we do not fight this alone. We are constantly lifted up by the prayers of so many.
The battle against ovarian cancer is far from over. Karen has one more chemotherapy treatment on Thursday the 8th. The question she asks right now is, what next? After this is over, does she work again? And of course we continue to seek healing, which we believe will happen. It's recurrence of this cancer which is most common, statistically speaking, and that is a battle we'll be waging the rest of our lives. With friends like all who attended last night, our families, and our faith, we have the strength and will to do it.
Keep watching this blog for the latest news and I was pleased to hear last night just how many have been reading this. :)
