greetings. you don't know me, but i'm a friend of spiralflames. she's been off lj for months, and i just talked to her on the phone and promised i'd let everyone on her friends list know, personally, how she was doing.
first, the bad news: her declining health of this year was due to undiagnosed ovarian cancer. it was finally properly diagnosed, and last week she had two tumors removed in an 11-hour operation, and one of them was gigantic.
the good news: the doctors feel that they got it all out, and with a course of chemo the prospects are bright.
now the fantastic news: spiralflames is beating all expectations with the rapidity of her recovery: within 2 days her blood chemistry was back to normal, and an expected stay of a week in ICU turned out to be one day.
she's kicking some serious ass. :)
if you'd like to send her a message of any kind, feel free to reply to this or to write me at foosi@comcast.net. if you need a phone number or address, write me and i'll get the info from her when i talk to her next. i'm sure she can use all the positive encouragement possible.
keep her in your thoughts. she's cherishing every minute of life right now and i'm sure she wants you to do the same.
