Me, Sabine and Mocha on one of our daily walks!

Update: Sabine has just completed her 6th three-week round of her current "chemo cocktail" -- subcutaneous Velcade and oral does of Revlimid and Dexamethasone. She now has a three-week respit before going back to Dr Sheehan and a blood-work check. The strategy is to see how the cancer has responded to the battle she has just given it.

January marks our fifth year and what Sabine calls her "expiration date" based on the "five years" she heard Dr Sheehan mention as a part of her diagnosis on January 16, 2007.

All in all, except for Sabine being a little more tired, she remains active and positive. We are preparing to visit daughter Yumi in San Antonio after Thanksgiving, Florida at the end of January, and a big "birthday bash" during the July 4 weekend next summer celebrating, respectively, our 75th and 60th birthdays!
