Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hi Rogene, I'm glad to hear that the cancer didn't invade the bones. I hope you're feeling well and I'll continue to pray for a full recovery.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Oh, Sweet Rogene: Please get well, because I think about you and Lynda all the time. I have been so sick, and all I do is sleep. It started last Sunday, and it got so bad that my doctor was worried about another PE. I am to go to the ER if it gets worse. Happy Easter to all of our Angels...love always.............Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Update on my ear The surgeon removed the staples today - is leaving the stitches for the next appointment in two weeks.The pathology report says ALL margins were clear.
