Hi Laura,

Sorry to hear you're going through a tough time. Hopefully, you'll be able to switch to a part time work schedule and find a comfortable balance. I know it's very upsetting to not be able to do everything you could before, especially for someone who is as obviously dedicated to your work as you are. From what I've heard and read, it might take years to regain your strength and stamina after the transplant. Don't give up on yourself.

If Zollinger-Ellison is confirmed, what can be done to treat it? It seems so unfair sometimes that it's one thing after another heaped upon us, no matter how strong and positive we try to stay. I guess everybody gets discouraged sometimes. I'm sending lots of positive, healing thoughts (and the purrs of six felines) your way.

Karen
