[NFBWATlk] hard to write this

Hi, NFB friends,
It is difficult to let you know that I have high-grade, B-cell lymphoma. I’ve probably had it for some time and didn’t know. Scans show that it has spread throughout my body and lab reports show that the blood cancer is in my bloodstream.

I am opting for palliative care and/or hospice, because my heart and kidneys can’t handle chemo or radiation.

I have so many memories of so many of you.  I wish all of you the best, personally and as NFB brothers and sisters.
Love,
Blessings,
Lauren Merryfield❤
