Bill, First and foremost - YOUR POEM IS BEAUTIFUL - I am so sorry that when you called last weekend, I was not abe to provide you with the support I so desparetly wanted to give you. I have been having a bout w/ depresion and I could not talk about Nicola w/o breaking into a million pieces. I just wanted to let you know that my CT was negative. No Acities, No mass. I am just very bloated (9lbs in a month). I was sure there was something amiss! It may be a change in two medications. I changed from tamoxafin to Femara and from Lisinopril to Diovan. I have since gone back to Lisinopril, and my bloating has decreased significantly. My energy level and spirits are getting back to normal just in time for Christmas and our trip to Miraval SPA in AZ. What a blessing! Thank you for all your kind words last week when I was falling apart. You are a wonderful and caring individual and Nikki was extreemly lucky to have fallen in love w/ such a great guy. Peace Karen
