Beth - Would love to communicateViews: 828

Hi Beth,

Thank you so much for writing. I’m so sorry to hear we are having to meet this way…but I am grateful we have this medium.

You have had a challenging year. Now you are anxiously awaiting more tests during the holiday season. You poor thing…my heart goes out to you.

I would thoroughly enjoy communicating with you directly. simply write to me at my screen name (kbienapfl) and add hotmail to it.

Your survivor stories are the shot in the arm I needed this morning. Thank you! These past few days have been rather difficult for me both emotionally and physically. (Damned chemo!)

Thank you so much for taking the step to write. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kathy

Dear Kathy,
I am here for you any time you wish to talk. You are very blessed to have a caring husband. I realize the holidays are difficult. As I said in my earlier comment this past week has been a seies of up & downs but with chemo and just living with this awful disease is a bummer. But, when you are feeling down watch a funny movie, just something that makes you REALLY LAUGH. As difficult as it is, please try and take your mind off. Stress only fuels your compromised immune system. Trust me, I feel as though I could write a book on that one. Your thoughts are with me. God Bless, Patty

Hello again,
Kathy I did write to you at your hotmail address and it came back to me,” Mailer Daemon”, I was careful to copy down letter for letter, not quite sure what I did wrong. But, I didn’t want you to think that I didn’t try. You can reach me @ Bhappy4ever6@aol.com
Haooy Day, Patty :)
