Carlene is recovering well from her 3rd infusion of a little more than a week ago. Her "chemo head" has lingered longer this time than last. We hope it doesn't get worse each time, but that seems to be the trend. It's not horrible by any means. Carlene describes it as pressure and "fogginess" similar to a sinus infection. She felt good enough for us to dine at one of our favorite restaurants (Marigold) last night. She has been sleeping fairly well. This morning Carlene went for a 3.5 mile hike in Palmer Park, on a trail with a few steep hills. She felt great and enjoyed being outside. It was a beautiful morning. We are in Breckenridge tonight with our daughter Kristin, her husband Andy and grandson Jackson. Kristin and Andy are going to ski tomorrow, while we babysit Jackson (like a tonic for Carlene). We'll head for home tomorrow night. It's beautiful up here. Lots of snow but it's 50 degrees. It feels good to get out of town for a night.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
Carlene has many friends who love her like a sister. I decided to start this blog as a way to update family and friends about her fight against breast cancer - Mike

Thanks for the update, Mike! Enjoy "The Breck" this weekend. I think it will do you both good. Hug for Carlene (and you). Sandy
Our family is always thinking of you. Her faith is strong and her attitude is great. Her and Donna were a lot a like. Tell Carlene hi for us. Lora
Carlene--AMAZING, the 2 go together. Who would have thought you could be handling chemo and still taking 3 mile hikes, babysitting grandchildren, etc. Love and miss you both!! Norma
