Reply #9: Sincere thank you

I really appreciate your response. A few years ago, my father died. That was expected. 13 days later, my mother died. That was not expected (often married couples do pass around the same time, but may parents had been divorced for 10 years). A cousin of mine came to my emotional rescue during that time, and three weeks later she drove off a cliff and died (the accident was probably complications of a thyroid mis-medication). Then my sister was diagnosed with adenocarcenoma of unknown primary, a very rare cancer, and she passed away 11 months later.

So I guess that's why I'm a bit freaked about my friend who actually needs not only kidneys but a pancreas.

In any event, your note was very important to me, even though I don't know who you are! I greatly appreciate it. And I hope that I'm not giving you more information than you bargained for! ;)

Thanks for being a virtual friend/ear/etc.
