Hey everyone,

Sorry I haven't been on much. I have just been lurking but things are so

crazy around here round here I don't know if I am coming or going right now.

In the last 2 months, I have lost 7 people and it has been hard. My

grandmother, Aunt, one of my closest friends and my step grandmother are all

gone now and I am still having a time dealing with it. I have talked to my

doctor and she has put me on Prozac and though it has only been a week I

have already noticed a small change but I am still going through a lot of

stuff. I had an accident some years ago and the seat belt caught me across

the breast. I had a lump there for a while but it went away. Well now the

lump is back and it is getting bigger. Plus the fact that I haven't had a

period in almost 11 months is not helping also. I am going for a mammogram

Monday morning so all of you please keep me in your prayers. I have an

appt. with the surgeon the same day so maybe all of it will work out for the

best. One of the good things that has happened to me the last two months is

on Feb. 6 I got to meet my Idol. I am a big fan of Jordan Knight and some

close friends of mine got a hold of his road manager and arranged it where I

could meet him. It was a dream come true for me and something I will never

forget. It has helped me from time to time but wasn't enough to bring me

out of the depression. My mom didn't want me on any time of pills but I had

to finally give up. I just wanted to let all of you know what is going on.

I spent a week in the hospital during 2-23 to 2-27 and was glad to have

gotten out. IT was a flare up plus the fact that my meds never came and I

ran out. I was only out a couple of hours though. Seems I had some type of

infection anyway.

As for the Carolina girls thread I would love to meet in ton and

have someone to talk to about what we go through. Let me know what is going

on with it. Let me go now since I am starting to fall asleep and the words

are getting blurry.

Love,

,

I am so sorry that you have lost so many people that were close to you

in such a short time. I wish there was something I could do to make you

feel better. Seems we were both in the hospital at the same time for

pancreas attack, though I was in for a little longer than you since I

didn't get out until March 11.

Unfortunately, we all go through depression with this disease and with

the added loss of so many people, I'm not surprised you eventually

needed to go on something for the depression. My mother is also on it

and is finally doing better too. If you ever want to talk, email me

anytime and I'll respond as quickly as I can, or if you see me on Yahoo

IM, let me know (if I haven't given you my screen name alreadly, let me

know and I'll send it to you).
