 i have neglected coming to OD for a reason.  its tough to write about.  and OD means so much to me.  i have neglected OD.  and i appologize.  i should have been here more, but i just couldn’t.  

my mom passed away on nov 5, 2011.  

she battled a particularly virulent form of lymphoma called mantle cell lymphoma blastoid variant.  it was an evil, viscious, form of cancer.  her doctor told me this: it was the "worst of the bad" and "if a nuclear holocaust ever occured, the blastoid variants would survive" and the mantle cell was the ‘cockroaches of oncology."

i should of been more open here, but for some reason i just couldn’t, i don’t know why.

i am so sorry. i know it must hurt. wish i could be there to give you a hug when you need one. prayers for you. take care,

Please don’t feel the need to apologize for being absent. You were dealing with real life, which totally trumps OD. I am so, so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Anything with “blasto” in the name is bad. Guy died of pretty much the same thing. I’m so sorry, Loof. **HUGS** You are in my prayers.

Oh, dear heart, I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you.
