Friday, March 9, 2012Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2002. Mattie was five months old and featured in another item which he greatly disliked, his stroller. In fact, Mattie went through about four strollers, until we found one he tolerated. His facial expression says it all... "I'm not happy! Get me out of this stroller now!!!"

I had another bad night of sleep. However, as the morning rolled around, my attitude had improved and I wasn't focused upon my medical issues. I had a productive three hour licensure board meeting, but when I got home, I got a call from one of my doctor's offices telling me that the mass was still there and was the same size. Certainly the same size is better than the mass growing, but I had hoped that perhaps it would shrink or disappear. Not realistic I know, but I had hoped for this, so I could put this behind me. Frankly living with not knowing what is going on inside of me is very challenging. I am simply stunned that there is no effective way to biopsy this mass and my choices are multiple scans per year or a radical surgery.
Needless to say, for the rest of the day, I lost my appetite and by the time Peter came home from work, I was in a complete funk. So I am signing off for tonight in hopes that tomorrow is a better day.

I am sorry to hear that things continue to be rough; Dr Marlow sounds wonderful though and hopefully he can help to get to the bottom of the problem and find a workable solution. Thinking of you this evening and wishing you a peaceful, restful night

Dear Vicki,
You continue to amaze me every time I read your entries. You are not superwoman, yet you display an array of atributes that superwoman would kill to have: a fighting attitude, courage, humility, determination, gratitude, honesty, and an indomitable spirit.
I truly admire and respect you. Even though we've never meet, please know that you are in my thoughts and always wish for good things to come your way.
With my deepest respect,
Esther from Burbank,
