My childhood best friend is very ill

[spicedogs]

I am so sad. I just finished talking to my childhood best friend. She is currently in the hospital fighting for her life. She has been battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for over 20 years. I am afraid that the disease is taking its toll on her body. They removed fluid from around her heart, she may be having pneumonia, and she will undergo a painful procedure tomorrow. I hope that she regains her strength and is able to fight for her life, as she has been doing these past 20 years.

Ouch, I'm so sorry. Sounds terrible.
Life is unfair, huh?

I hope that this time, it will be fair. I would like her to be at my son's wedding. We actually made a pact to reach 75. I hope that she can make her end of the bargain.

Sending positive, healing thoughts to her by way of you.

Thak you. She is fighter. I just hope she doesn't become too tired and decide to give up.

I am so sorry your friend is so sick.

She seems to be a very brave lady who has dealt with so much in her life. I am sure she will keep on fighting as she has done for these past 20 years.

My thoughts are with you and her. All my best wishes and prayers for her operation tomorrow.

Take care, Ostiax

She is a brave lady. She went to medical school, became a psychiatrist, is quite well known in her field, and raised her son all by herself. She just needs to continue fighting.

Hi Edith,

I am sorry to comment on this post but I don't know have your email. After our conversation tonight about Ashli - I just wanted to let you know, if you didn't already - she has posted on her journal - she is fine :0) Go read her post and it explains everything :0)

Thanks for the update. No problem posting here. BTW, since your are an MEFB member, all you have to do is get my e-mail address off of my posts (it's visible) or profile. I will e-mail you anyway.
