Got an email from her this morning.  She said I could share it with you
folks since she can't keep up with all the posts here LOL.  It says, in
part:

"It was a rough trip to the Mayo Clinic yesterday, but all the tests showed
that the tumor hasn't returned yet.  Thank goodness!  Dr. TerKonda said that
all the pain and numbness I'm experiencing is NORMAL - it will take years,
if ever, for it to go away.  It's just scar tissue and nerve damage.  They
still want to monitor me every 3 months to be sure I'm tumor-free, but so
far so good.  It was a really long couple of days trip, but I'm happy!"

Of course we'll keep those purrs coming, won't we? :)
