[NFB-Seniors-Discussion] I'm sorry to darken your day

[Les Fitzpatrick]

Hello Lauren, I’ve never met you but I’ve been seeing your emails through the year since I came to Washington in 2008, and I want you to know that I am praying for you for comfort and peace and blessings. God bless you.

Dear Lauren,  Although we’ve never met, I know you’ve been an important contributor to the NFB.  I think that you are very courageous, facing a reality about which many of us may not feel prepared to handle.  Prayers, peace, and comfort are being sent your way.

Regina Connor,

NFBRI

                Hi, brother and sister senior division discussion members,

How are all of you doing? I hope you are all doing well and having a happy spring. 

 

It is with a tired heart that I inform you that I went in for a biopsy of a huge lymph node. I have high-grade b-cell lymphoma. By the time of the “meow” scan, the lymphoma had spread in my body and bloodstream. 

 

I cannot opt for chemo or chemo with radiation due to my weak heart and stage 3 kidney disease. I would probably be wiped out. 

 

So, I am going into hospice care and will probably be around for several months. 

 

I know that is somewhat of a shock.

 

I’ve known many of you and have enjoyed getting to know others. I appreciated the help that has been given to each other. That is such a neat thing. 

 

So I’m not saying good-bye-yet; maybe some other terms. 

Thanks,

Blessings,

Love and

Prayers,

Lauren Merryfield❤
