Dear Life “This is a great PetScan” the oncologist said, later adding, “The kind of lymphoma you have is very tricky. It can hide out in your body.” I know this, but today, we can celebrate excellent health.

I thanked Dr Herbert for working with me since 2022, after two years of “big guns” chemo and Stem Cell Replacement did not work. He said, “You are a brave and unusual person who has asked for what you needed. Not every patient can do this.”

My message is: Please be your own best health advocate. Your medical team wants this even though it can be uncomfortable. Doctors are not gods. But they want miracles, too.

Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
