The latest photo addition is one of three areas where Denise has posted some of the wonderful cards she has received.

Yesterday, the Infusion Center injected a blood thinner into her shoulder port.  After allowing two  hours to process, the port was successfully cleared of any clots and is now fully operational.  A big yeh! for this.  If the port didn't clear then another radiology surgical procedure would be scheduled.

Denise has been strong and doing well with Wednesday's chemo therapy.  The constipation caused by the chemo has kicked in and causing sleepless nights and abdominal discomfort.

The beautiful weather has been great for walking and lifting the spirits.

Hey Denise, just wanted to drop you a line and remind you how inspired I am, each and every day, by your strength during this journey of your life. Sorry we didn't connect by phone last weekend, will try again this weekend. Love the picture of the cards (I see mine :-))I continue to send positive energies your direction and mention you by name in my prayers every night. Stay strong, so many of us are out here pulling for you to move beyond this in order to move on with your life!

Super happy about your port being cleared! (Just wish they could use some of the de-clotting stuff to get rid of the other blockages ;)

Hope it all gets cleared up soon!
