Ruth Update #23.1, sent September 10, at 4:57 pm

Dear Friends, Relatives, and Prayer Partners,

I see that I have a bunch of e-mails to which to reply, and I will, but first, I wanted to let you know that I am home from the hospital. The verdict is not yet in as to why I was running such a high fever, as all tests for bacterial infections came back negative. The current suspect is a new drug that was administered to me along with my regular chemo drug on Thursday. The fevers started on Thursday night. You think?

I will answer all your e-mails, and hopefully get off a fuller update, but first, I gotta call my Dad, who doesn't do the e-mail thing.

Get your mammograms. Do your self-exams.

Love,

Ruth
