When I think of what I'm thankful for this year I'm surprised that eyebrows are on my list. Yes,they are back! Along with a cute little buzz-cut fringe of hair on my head that lets me know that the chemo is over and I'm getting back to normal.
I'm feeling much better. My energy is returning. I tolerated the last Bexxar treatment very well. Dr. Friedberg is pleased that I've responded so well and things are looking good. I'll have a PET scan in January to confirm that everything is clear.
Julie is also making progress with her treatment. Her last "Big Blast" of chemo a couple of weeks ago really kicked her butt. Hopefully it also kicked the butt of any
lingering cancer cells. She's starting to feel better and will begin 6.5 weeks of radiation the first of December. All this cancer stuff certainly was put aside as we celebrated the birth of Julie's great niece, Rowan! She's beautiful and we are thrilled that Lindsay is feeling well and that the whole Lehmann family is doing the happy baby girl dance with us.
I'm really grateful for all the blessings in my life. The support of family and friends has certainly helped me make it through this lymphnoma journey. Wishing you all the best during this holiday season.

The "before" picture
Getting the news that I have cancer -- Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma--when I was feeling GREAT was huge. This blog is a way for me to communicate with family and friends and to keep you posted on how I'm doing. As you can see from the title of the Blog--my plan is to kick this lymphoma to the curb! Thanks for your interest and support. Take care. Ellie

Ellie--Thanks for updating your blog! You could have mentioned to your readers how annoying you find it that I stare at your re-growing hair, fascinated on a daily basis to see it coming back.
Ellie, great to read your blog on Thanksgiving to find you and Julie doing better. I was just thinking about you today.

HI Ellie! I was talking with Joy and she mentioned that lymphoma tried to get the best of you but you are showing it who is boss! I am so happy to know that you are feeling better!
I have not been in Rochester for quite some time, but I think of you often and send all my love and support!
I wish you much peace and happiness for 2009...please know that you are in my prayers.
