Midnight ramblings
Being on a 3-week vacation in Portugal - I was shocked (when I finally found computer access) at how quickly Lyn passed. I knew she was not in good shape when I left, but was hoping for some treatment possibility for her.
Lyn was a part of this board tapping out loud and clear messages when I joined in 2003. She took her disease seriously, but did not let it prevent her from living a full life and taking care of her family. This was the most frequent message from her own private soapbox down under.
Seemed when I would get around to checking the board here on Pacific time, she would have her posts from the night before. I would look for them as they would always contain a bit of her wry humor wrapped around her questions and frustrations with the medical care system.
About the photo. If you just look at Lyn's face and ignore the rest, you can see that she is a feisty soul. The background with the blood dripping skull almost makes it appear that death is stalking her and will eventually have it's way. In the meantime she was focusing on what to do about her disease progression and working at a reversal.
These latest mets seemed to sneak up on her and she wrote a lot about that as she was still looking for "a way out" while her disease was gaining ground.
Keeping her memory alive will not be hard for me as I feel we are kindred spirits in our determination to live in spite of this disease.
