Subject: Message from Raven 4/7/13

Typing hurts through the Percocet, but at least I can move some fingers a bit on my own. This is my third try at this tonight. It's been the darkest ride of my life. The wrist I fractured is crazy painful on top of an already rocky time with the chemo. We were just informed by the Ortho that he cannot operate on my fractured wrist because of my beloved Oncologist's replacement (who I have not even met yet), which denied permission stating that the bones wound would not heal because of the Avastin that I have been recently infused with. The soonest time allowed would be 6 weeks out (and by then my bones will have knitted). He said that he will not go against the Oncologist, and I can't blame him. I have no idea how this thing will mend, but I guess I will know soon enough. I've tried typing to you so many times, but I can never make it very far. At least I can finally eek out enough to let you know I am still here. Still fighting.

As for the doctor who has never given up on me when the others sent me home to plan a funeral, (my Oncologist who is no longer at the hospital he was practicing at), I have a feeling I will be back as his patient soon. Thanks to some of your suggestions, we feel very optimistic. This is not the time to lose your Oncologist! I am already a nervous wreck from all of this. We looked into this thoroughly, and they are NOT allowed to warn you that they will be leaving nor where they are going!! I have always known this, which is why I got sick when I was told. A lot of patients in an uproar over this. I have a very positive feeling that I will be back under his care soon (praying more than you know).

John is an angel walking this earth. I can see it in his eyes. He is so tired and run down. I feel like this horrible burden. He tells me I am his precious, beautiful, baby and I cry because I know this is taking such a toll on him. I just feel like he didn't sign on for this. I thank God for him. I thank God for you. ♥

Thank you, Will, for posting these updates. I think of Raven so often, and send my well-wishes mentally, but not online until now.

Raven, you never cease to amaze me with your spirit. You just seem to refuse to let these roadblocks stop you in your tracks.

I sincerely hope you are reunited soon with your cherished oncologist.

I've loved following your blog (and radio show)for some time now, and think you must be an astonishing person. I know that your illnesses are taking an unbelievable toll on you now, but I hope that when you're having a good moment, you can take some pleasure in the renaissance of our beloved soaps.

Sending all my best wishes for you and for your John.

Yes John is going through a hard time but so are you, don't forget love gives us strength we would never have otherwise. You are both in my prayers.
