Hi Guys,

FISTULAS, Yikes! Man, Linda has a massive one on her neck. As you all have said, it is best to let all the crap come out and keep it very, very clean. She won't let us see it. She has a tiny spot on her face, that I am a bit concerned that it will give. I hope not. She is always in the bathroom cleaning her neck. It seems likes hours at a time. No kidding. The patience, the strength and determination. Wow! What I would like to know, does it ever heal? Can anyone say that it has healed completely? Between the cancer and this fistula, my head is spinning as to what to be thinking about more. Of course, I want the cancer to leave her alone already, and be completely gone at the next CAT Scan, and then I want the wound to heal and take the swelling with it just because it is so dramatic to see. She calls herself a freak! She says, kids stare, people stare, people speak with loud voices because they think she is deaf because she can't talk. They ask me questions about her, and I'm like, she can hear you, you can talk to her. My sister..is not a freak! I tell her, Linda, you are beautiful to me and to all of us that love you so much.

So much of her energy is being used up for healing and caring for this wound. She needs all this energy and strength to fight the cancer. I am really going nuts here..... She is so brave, as you all are, that are going through all of this. You are all an inspiration for all of us watching you go through this, you are not alone. God Bless you and may he give you the strength you need to continue to fight the fight....Take Care Flo XoX
