    Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

            November Update

            I saw Margaret's posting on waiting for results and I know we can all understand exactly what she is going through. We have blood work and CT scans scheduled for next week. Our first - post 1 year - check up. Well doesn't Jon wake up Tuesday morning and say he is going in early for the blood work as he's been having pain for several weeks and he can't wait any longer. Well that just put me into a tailspin for the day. But I'm glad to report the markers are still normal!!! We still have ct scans next week, but I'll worry about that starting Monday!

            Can't wait to hear the all clear from everyone else waiting for results this week!
