[Oe List ...] Fred

Dear Ones,

I've been putting off writing this letter, but the time has come.  (Actually 
I wrote it Saturday and thought I sent it.  Just found it in my "Mail Waiting 
to be Sent" box.  Duh.)

Fred had a CT guided biopsy Tuesday on a lump at the base of his neck.  Our 
doctor got a preliminary report yesterday indicating it is cancerous.  It will 
be a few days before they know whether it is primary to the lymph system or 
from another source.  He had chest and abdomen CT scans yesterday, so as soon as 
the pathology reports are back, we hope treatment can begin.  It seems like 
it takes ages to get all the information they need to proceed, but he had been 
getting pulmonary and cardiac tests of all kinds to try to figure out why his 
energy level has been so low, so maybe it won't be long.

Fred says to tell you that he is all right, and it's true he maintains great 
serenity and humor in spite of the debilitaty of the last 15 months (and in 
spite of my not-always-so-loving care.)

Please pray for him, and for me, that we proceed with wisdom while staying in 
the present moment, where we are richly nurtured and sustained by Love, our 
source and destiny.  I often think of how the prayers of our many circles of 
community helped and sustained us during my cancer treatment and Fred's cerebral 
hemorrhage eight years ago.  We are so grateful to God for the blessing of 
our beloved fellow sojourners in this life.

We'll keep you posted on this journey.

Love and blessings,
