April 20th

I am sorry we have not been keeping everyone updated. As you all know Claire is in the first of a scheduled 9 cycles of maintenance chemotherapy. Shannon and I have not known what to expect and it has been challenging at times. Claire has had a difficult time maintaining her platelet cell count and has been transfused multiple times. Otherwise she is tolerating the therapy ok. She has difficult days but that is expected. We are very anxious as we prepare for her MRI scheduled for April 25th. We are hopefull for a positive image showing no change or spreading of the disease. We both look at this next test as a significant marker to Claire's beating the odd's and being able to continue in the maintenance chemo therapy.

As always, keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Your support has helped us stay strong and know we are not alone in this most difficult time.

Thank you.
