Anyone hear from MaryAnn
I noticed that Mary Ann (madubois63) hasn't posted in a while and was wondering if anyone has heard from her? The last post I remember is around the holidays after she had the bone marrow transplant and had just come home. Anyone know how she's doing

I asked about her a couple weeks ago and someoneposted she was home recovering, I believe, medical issues from the transplant. It is my understanding there is much more that goes along with these transplants then we realize. If it works it takes care of a life threatening problem and yet that person has to deal with many others. I hope she is doing well and hope to hear from her. Of course, her computer maybe down. hugs, Sandy

worried now
Hello,
Is there anyone who can contact her to make sure she is okay? She was so good at posting and keeping us informed of her progess, it's troubling that she hasn't posted in awhile - maybe she could use our help?

Also praying that all is as well as can be expected for Maryanne. She has definitely touched us all and become such an inspiration as well. Sure hope all is okay and she is just busy recuperating.

I am bringing this post up to the top again in hopes that someone has news about MaryAnn. I truly worried about her and hoping that she is just slow in recovering from the bone marrow transplant. If anyone has heard from her please let us know.

Getting very concern!
I am now very concern for her and so wished someone would answer our post. If I had her phone number I would call her but I don't. I do have a few others on the board but not hers. We will just have to keep praying for her. hugs, Sandy

Sandy,
Do you think Joe would be able to get in touch with her?

I noticed that Mary Ann posts on the AOL breast cancer support board - Stage 4 Amazons, and as of Jaunary 24, she seems to be doing all in all okay. Her message is called "Still kicking" on the board.
Best,
Monica

yes it would be nice to get a real update on Maryann who has been such an inspiration to us all and is such a good writer. Obviously we are all thinking about her, hoping for her quick recovery and to read about her news.
Maryann, I send love and positive energy to heal you and let you know how much you are cared about by all of us. You ahve been so strong for all of us, let us be strong for you.

Still trying!
I do have Maryann's phone number. I called her this morning and there was no answer, now I am really concern. I left my number and said she can call me or post on the board here. If I hear from her I will post ASAP with her permission. hugs, Sandy

Monica, are you sure its the same Maryann? It surprises me she is posting on another board and not keeping us updated. Just does not sound like her. Did you see this post on BCMETS board? I saw on one of the board, while lurking, there is another Maryann that had a transplant about the same time. At first I thought it was her but it wasn't. Hugs, Sandy
