Hello!

Hi Everyone!
I have a lot of news to report, some good, and some not so good.

I have been having a lot of hip pain, and pain in my femur. I am having an MRI tomorrow, to rule out any lymphoma type of activity. Also, this Monday, I have my PET scan and CT scan at Northwestern. This I am praying will be clean, but I always error on the side of caution.

Some really exciting things are happening to me right now. I was emailed on Valentines Day by the head of media at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. They want me to do three things for them. The first thing is to be the subject of an article for the NMH faculty magazine. They want me to do a photo shoot next week, and be a calender girl for the NMH cancer survior calender. Also, they will use those pictures and make banners out of them for the NMH cancer survivor walk on June 3. This is a celebratory walk focusing on survivorship, and when people are walking the 4 mile walk by the lakefront, I will be on the banner cheering people on! I am so excited!

On St. Patrick's Day, I am going to be part of a patient panel, along with the top doctors in Chicago (the lovely Dr. Winter included) to discuss bone marrow transplants. I am so happy to get my life started, by helping others.

I also started a book about my cancer experience. Things are taking a little bit of time because I am not that motivated to write right now.

I hope all is well with you, and I look forward to seeing and talking with you soon. I recently changed my cell phone number so if you would like the new number, please contact my email for that information.

Love,
Sherrie
