My Dear Friends,

This will not be a long post because I'm very tired.

The bone scan was bad. More spots in the spine, bigger spot in the arm.

After waiting for the scan results and freaking out for days, I called the doctor's office this afternoon. Spoke with LH, the nurse's assistant.

"I was calling to see how the bone scan came out," I said.

She goes, "I think you know."

WHAT? What kinda response was that? Then she gave me the details.

Anyway, they had already faxed the results to my 2nd opinion guy YESTERDAY. So they knew for a whole day and did not call me! Wow.

Spoke to the 2nd opinion guy. I will switch chemicals ... again.

He said, "Look, it's not life-threatening. It's not in your organs. We've had this (chemical switching) conversation before and we'll have it again."

He's always a positive influence while my doc is darker. (Remember he was her mentor, that's how they know each other.)

Gotta go spend some time with Mark. Tried to spend lots of time with the babies after school. We just told them Mommy has to switch medicines and that they found some new spots. We've always been honest with them so they don't just wake up one morning and Mommy's gone.

Lots of emotions are going through my head but I'm too tired to write them all down. Furthermore, these allergies are kicking my butt.

No news on the blood tests for bacteria. Took another one yesterday. They'll let that grow to make sure I don't need any more antibiotics.

Please pray for me as the family goes through this rough time...AGAIN!

Love,
Jeanette
