Hi AnnaMarie,

[Lauren]

I've been thinking about you and wondering if you had gotten any news since I last saw you at the treatment center a couple of weeks ago.

I suppose the only good news is that they have finally found what has been causing you all this pain and suffering over the past several months. I pray that the radiation shrinks the mass enough to relieve the pain....

And yes - your husband is so dear... neither of you deserve to be going through all of this. I pray for easier days to come for you and your family.

Your in my thoughts daily.

Love and hugs,
Lauren

Thanks Lauren. I have been feeling so bad. The PET scan scared both of us this time. Seems there is a lot of soft tissue involved along with bone. I don't know what kills soft tissue.
One of the things that was also getting me down was when I would go to chemo, I felt like my doc's nurses looked at me as a complainer for no reason. Unfortunately they don't know me well enough or would know that is not my personality at all. Can't decide whether it was their reaction to me or if I was just parinoid because I was so sick all the time.

Last week I told my onc I had a hangnail. Kidding because I'm forever mentioning some concern. But as the nurse practioner said, we'd much rather you voice your concerns than have to be called on midnight Saturday night from the emergency room!

Love and healing light,

Lisa

Dear AnnaMarie,
I am so sorry you have felt badly for this long and not been getting the sympathy and support you need. You've got lots here, I'm sending thoughts of love and support to both of you, and praying you feel less pain.
Love, Lolly
