<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What an enjoyable song! Nothing like a waltz
to get me going. So easy to learn the chorus - such a great one to invite
people to join in. I'll listen again and try to get the words to the
verses. Thanks, Nancy. I can certainly see you and Michelle singing,
with maybe a few dance steps as well, with Brent adding his voice.
Great to share this link with the list serv - we can identify with "And we'll
sing for a long, long time!" for sure.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR><BR>My dear friend Michelle had recently returned from India where
she participated in a 3 week yoga training. She and I were cleaning up
after dinner one evening last week when she told me about her experience of a
particular song. The experience happened around a fire circle with the
other participants, all of whom were quite tired. She began to hum in
her head, The Song of the Soul. She suddenly realized that the song is
one of awakening and enlightenment. As she told me the story, she and I
began dancing around the kitchen, sing ...Brent's deep base voice resounded
from the dining room where he was cleaning tables and sweeping the floor
....what sight to behold and experience! Please sing along with
the youtube link and let me know what you think. <BR><BR> <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dear ICA friends,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Since January I've experienced increasing tiredness
that's become extreme. At first I chalked this up to local projects that
were rewarding - and challenged everything I had to give. "Or maybe it's
just old age catching up with me!" But something else was going
on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV></DIV></FONT><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thursday I saw an oncologist, who went over results of
tests with me. Almost a week of tests came in April, after a mammogram
followed by a breast biopsy March 28 indicated large B-cell lymphoma cancer.
The bone marrow biopsy, PET and CT scans did not indicate widespread cancer,
which is a relief. The oncologist says that this is stage 2 - more
widespread than stage 1, but not as much as stages 3 or 4. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Now I'm due to start chemotherapy Wed. May 22. Each 21
days I'll spend most of the day at Lourdes hospital in Binghamton in the
oncology center, receiving chemo and antibodies (don't know what they are
yet). June 12, July 3, and July 24 will finish the chemo. Two more sessions
with antibodies only on August 14 and September 4. A good friend went
with me Thursday, and we were laughing about this typical fall question:
"And how did you spend your summer vacation?!" </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>People do respond to chemo differently, veterans tell
me (and so did the oncologist). Weakness is common - sometimes does not
appear until after a few treatments. What - more than I'm already
experiencing?! Good grief! (as Charlie Brown would say). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thoughtful friends have already gone with me to some
of the tests and the oncology visit. Their support is wonderful. So
gratitude for blessings - especially through people and Spirit - really lift
me with caring. And I have to say - such a beautiful time in this part of
the world. Walking through the neighborhood, with lilacs in bloom, trees
covered with pink or white blossoms, bright yellow forsythia bushes
everywhere, flowers in front of many homes, birds singing their hearts out
on behalf of the next generation - seems the world is exploding with beauty
that points to the Sacred all around us.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Lymphoma is a disease of a part of the immune system, the lymph nodes.
Normally, the lymph nodes serve as "sentries" of our bodies defense against
disease. When bacteria or viruses enter the body, the cells of the lymph
node divide to fight it. However, sometimes the cells in a lymph node begin
to multiply without any reason, and make a tumor ... Lymphoma causes a lump
or mass, and may also cause the patient to be tired, weak, prone to
infections, or have a fever. </DIV>
