Hi, at-large members,
This is Lauren Merryfield. I want to apologize to you for running for Secretary and then not being able to follow through. 

It turns out that I have high-grade b-cell lymphoma. Since my kidneys and heart would not handle chemo, I am opting for palliative care or hospice. I am expected to live several months. 

I have enjoyed being on this team and receiving such timely emails, to help keep up. 
Thank you,
Blessings,
Love,
Lauren Merryfield❤

Hi, brother and sister Federationists,
A couple weeks ago I had a biopsy done on a very large lymph node and had scans.  The pathology labs showed that I have high-grade b-cell lymphoma and it has spread throughout my body, including my bloodstream.

I do not have the options for chemo or radiation since my heart and kidneys are too weak. I have opted for palliative care and/or hospice. This info and medical opinion is from a second oncology dr’s instructions and suggestions.

I’m sorry to inform you, but I have several months to live.

Love and blessings,
Lauren Merryfield❤
