Hello everyone...

I'm sure many of you have forgotten me or thought I have moved on, and there are many that have joined that I do not know yet.  I hope to make your acquaintance soon.  I am doing OK right now, things have been difficult for a very long time though.  The cancer is temporarily in remission, thank God it went into remission on its own, but my gastointrologist thinks that there is a chance that I may have colon cancer--I'll spare you the details why.  I've been caught in the grasp of a major lupus flare up for some time, but a shot of steroids helped me.  My doctor was going to admit me, and still might (because parts of my body keep going numb and he can't figure out why) but for now the shot (double the normal dosage!!) and the massive amounts he prescribed to take orally for about three weeks seem to be doing the trick.  I still deal with a great deal of pain, especially throughout my back, and the members of my family are kind enough to give me massages daily, even though sometimes we have to stop them immediately, as they hurt terribly badly.  More often that not, they help.  I'd love to hear from anyone, so please write!!

Love to all,

Shannon
