Hi, brother and sister senior division discussion members,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>How are all of you doing? I hope you are all doing well
and
having a happy spring. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>So, I am going into hospice care and will probably be
around
for several months. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I know that is somewhat of a shock.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>So I’m not saying good-bye-yet; maybe some other terms.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Blessings,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Love and<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Prayers,<o:p></o:p></P>
