Hi Lisa,

Linda is fine but we'll know alot more after her PET on Oct. 5th. As you know, she has had liver mets for 1 1/2 years with very little change other than she is not getting worst. The wonderful people in Seattle suggested that she get one because it is the test that can differentiate between active cancer and scar tissue, etc. As well, we would like to know if chemo is no longer required.

The cute little thing with Linda is Mackenzie, out granddaughter, now 7 1/2 months. She takes to Linda like I've never seen before. I guess Mackenzie gets that from me.

Take care,
Al
