....truly.
Nor do I really know what this all means....
Yesterday afternoon I was diagnosed with MDS/Leukemia...again. How Ironic, this being on the heels of the Leukemia Cup Regatta only 2 wks ago. And after 7 years of being cancer free. I am in utter disbelief. Simply numb. And just plain devastated. I just returned from North Africa only a few weeks ago. I just hiked 6+ miles up to Snow Lake in the Cascade Mountains (4000 ft) on Sunday. I simply don't understand how this can happen. I don't understand how this can happen yet again. It's just not fair.
There are too many of you spread out across the country...and too many of you out around the world. Admittedly this is a rather crappy way to include you in the loop but there just isn't enough time to call everyone individually right now & explain. This is all rather sudden... I'm so sorry for this rather crude mode of communication but I love too dang many of you to not let you know. So.... just like last time, email is the best option. Except this time I'm sending it myself.
I know you have questions. No fear, I too have endless ones myself. I have a new Oncologist who is putting all the options on the table and we are discussing the imminent next steps. Part of the plan: I will be admitted into UW Medical Center here in Seattle for an intensive round of inpatient-Chemo. If you can think of anything I may overlook - perhaps due to my brain being numbed, please speak up ! ! !
Please also bare with me as I wrap my mind, and my heart around all this....
Love Kristina -
