I have just received a letter from my rheumatologist in which he says he has
been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.  For all you non-medical people, that
is a really bad form of cancer, and not much can be done.

I don't pray, but I do send my "good intentions," that his trial will be
short and as painless as possible.  He was a really great doctor, and he
will be greatly missed.

I am sure he would appreciate any spare energy or prayers you might decide
to sling his way...

Love to you all,

Mary
