    Prayers for a close friend

    A dear friend who I have known for close to 30 years has just been diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma. Phyllis is a fighter with a great spirit and the only thing I can do for her is send healing prayers right now. I would be eternally grateful if you would keep Phyllis in Massachusetts in your healing prayers too.

    Thanks for reading this!!
    -Not officially diagnosed with IC but have had several inconclusive work-ups for it after several months-long bouts of frequency, soreness, and the insomnia that goes with it.

    -long stretches of being symptom-free in between

    -currently on low dose bcps, celexa, and Estrace cream for possible hormonal role in bladder symptoms (I'm 45)

        I will keep her in my thoughts. It's so heartbreaking to have a friend suffer from a serious disease.
