Dear Maria,
The insurace company and the medical establishment has put you through so much and now this...I am so sad to read the latest development. Yet I am hopeful the radiation will be of benefit to you. I have a friend who has been fight ovarian cancer for maybe 4 years now...she recently started radiation and her body has tolerated it very well...her condition is showing improvement. I can only hope and pray that you too will be so blessed.
You have been a real warrior over the last 18 months. I was glad to see by your notes that you haven't given up the fight. The doctors so routinely go about discharging orders and seeing patients, all too often without considering that what for them is routine, is not routine for us, and they need to slow down to answer our questions and offer some reassurance. I hope your doctors are doing that for you. You have been in my daily prayers....I will have to pray harder. Sending you positive thoughts. Hugs, Melodie
