> Dear Kent,

> It has been awhile since I have written to you. In August 1997, I ended up

> having more surgery once again. I lost my uterus, both my ovaries and my

> tubes and my cervix. I had a recurrance of Leiomyosarcoma after being free of

> it for 15 years. My oncologist feels that they got it all. Thank the Lord the

> tumors weren't real big but they were in my uterus, behind my uterus, and in

> one of my ovaries. I guess it was lying dormat for years and decided to make

> a reappearance. They were low grade-Class I so the doctors are just going to

> be monitoring me with CT Scans and MRIS.

> At the present time, they are not planning on having me do anymore

> chemotherapy or radiation. I am trying to take lots of vitamins and watching

> what I eat. I lost a lot of weight before and after the surgery so I am still

> not back at work yet. I just don't have the energy I had before. Things that

> never tired me out now make me very tired.

> I am thankful to be alive. Take care everyone and God bless you.
