My Dear Friends,

Had some bad news today. The bone scan showed a new area of cancer in my upper left arm. This means the chemo is not working. I will get an x-ray to make sure it is cancer but since it hurts when I sleep on it, I'm not optimistic.

The oncologist will probably switch me to some new drugs on Monday. She sounded disappointed in the diagnosis, as I'm sure it's difficult to see someone my age fall to this disease.

We will tell the kids tonight.

I'm supposed to start a new part-time job tomorrow.

At this point I just have to hope to God the next drugs work.

Please keep me in your prayers.

Love,
Jeanette
