Today we went out to the mall. Boy did we score! We walked the entire mall, and I still have energy left. Alice has to return home tomorrow, which will be sad for me, but I know her family is dying to have her back.
My next chemo is scheduled for Wed, Feb 26th, so I anticipate a couple weeks of good recovery time until then (God willing). I just finished paging through a book written for cancer patients called "100 Questions & Answers for Women Living with Cancer." Much of it was repeat information, but the excercise section has me inspired to pick up my recovery pace with more walking and some beginner Yoga. As good as I feel today, there shouldn't be anything to stop me.
Love you all,
Maureen

| Happy Valentine's Day Pat Hennesy | |
| Hi Maureen and Mike - have a great Valentine's Day together! Maureen, I loved your analogy of the golf balls and want you to know I'm thinking of beating those cancer cells out of you with every shot. My game is really bad these days, so you're getting a lot of extra shots! You're finally on the downhill side of this deal and we look forward to our Telluride ski trip next February. All our love, Pat and Kathy | |

 Hi Maureen! Kathy Miller | |
| We loved reading your last update and hearing that you're feeling stronger! That is awesome. Your next treatment is scheduled on Grandpa Delos's birthday, and I am sure he will be there with you, extolling the benefits of drugs!! If he only knew how much progress has been made over the last 35 years! We are back in Florida today, thinking of you and praying for you. Much love to you all! Kathy | |
 Hooray!!! Charlene Rex | |
| Maureen, your last two messages were such good news - Hooray!! Good riddance to the "tube", and how terrific that you have more energy (and even tackled the Mall? -- on my best days, that's a challenge for me!). You are definitely on the right track -- keep up the great work!!! We are thinking of you, as always, and holding good thoughts that this next chemo session won't be difficult. Much love, Charlene and Bill. | |
| CONTINUED PRAYERS FOR COLORADO! Judy Kludt | |
| Maureen, Mike and boys: We have been reading your updates and continuing our prayers for you all! We can't imagine how much of a struggle this all is and with the uncertainly in length and strength of chemo treatments, etc. we are with you in spirit and prayers. We are so glad your sister has been there recently (Alice I think it was). Sisters are certainly direct gifts from GOD, so much love and dedication and TLC. We know that you have your wonderful Mike and the boys too - which is your daily fix from your immediate family. Take care and love and prayers to you all! Paul & Judy Kludt and family | |
| Happy Valentines Day! Mary Permoda | |

| Maureen - It's Tuesday Joan Lentner | |
| You made it through Valentine's Day and now it's on to St. Patrick's Day...I'm sure you will be up for a couple of green beers by then. In the meantime we are all excited that you have gotten through another of the tough chemo treatments. What a mental & physical struggle they have to be...so that's why you have so many people sending love your way and praying our hearts out for you. God IS blessing you in some wonderful ways. Hang in there. Joan , LH - MPLS | |
| Lots of Prayers Carole Lee Randall | |
| Hi Maureen Wanted you to know that my Thursday prayer group in Mn. continues to pray for you each week...even when we are down here in Arizona. It is a privilege to read your updates and follow your journey. You are amazing.Also want you to know that your incredible husband did a fantastic job last Sunday in front of thousands at the Phoenix Symphony Hall prior to the ballet, Don Quixote. You would have been very proud to have seen him. (He claims the spotlights were so bright that he couldn't read his notes...but we know he never needs notes!) Our prayers will continue for your complete recovery! Carole Lee Randall | |
| Love from cold South Dakota... Jeanne Hassel | |
| So glad to hear you are feeling better. We were gone for a few days... trip to Florida... boy is that Sun and Green wonderful - the ocean never ceases to amaze me... I stand in awe! Way to go Maureen! Your strength and faith never waiver - we love you and are so proud of you! Miss you! Jeanne, Greg, Claire, Anna, and Maria | |
