Re: Decided to post...because I know you will understand...
Maureen,
I was following Leah's blog postings on Caring Bridge and she seemed like such a wonderful person with a great sense of humor. I sobbed a number of times when reading the postings of the last couple of weeks, and I am really sorry you have lost a great friend. I have to admit I have been feeling fearful too because my platelet counts were too low to receive treatment, so I understand.
You have received great advice from the Tricia, Mary Anne, and Bonnie, and I am praying and praying and praying that all your scans will come back NED.
Love,
Carolyn
