Oh, Paul!

I am so very sorry to hear of such a horrible experience! You must be wondering what the f**k is going on! It makes not sense! Do they have any idea why this is happening to you? Was your cancer HPV+?

I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best as you enter treatment yet again. I hope you have a strong support system in place. I cannot imagine how one would handle all of those recurrences.

Thank you for taking to the time to think of me and wish me luck. You must be a fighter to have made it this far. I look forward to seeing you back here as you are able.

With great care,
Kerri
