Dear friends, Thank you so much for caring about me and …

Dear friends,

Thank you so much for caring about me and my work! As you may or may not be aware, I have been experiencing a life-altering health challenge. I haven’t emailed broadly or posted about it here on Facebook, yet. But now it’s time to get current. So this is a perhaps-overdue update. Sincere thanks to those of you who have reached out and expressed your love and support in a whole variety of ways.

In a nutshell: On my 70th birthday, this past April 1st, I was hospitalized with a very rare cancer that had metastasized through my lungs to the point that I am told it is “very aggressive, Stage IV, inoperable, incurable, and very hard to treat.” It came as a huge shock, since I’ve stayed active, and noticed no symptoms until about 9 days before I was hospitalized.

I am richly blessed. For one thing, I have received SO much love, prayers, and many kinds of help from many friends, family, neighbors, and everyone involved in A New Republic of the Heart. I’ll describe all this in some detail, below, just in case you’re interested.

Also, there are a couple of links you may want to have:

(1) the CaringBridge site where my dear friend Deborah Boyar and I have been keeping friends and family current on my cancer journey. https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/terrypatten/journal

(2) I’m deeply grateful to the many people who have made generous contributions to help bring the most effective treatments within financial reach at the GoFundMe page that Craig Hamilton and Claire Zammit set up this past week. https://www.gofundme.com/f/terry-patten-wellness-support-fund

I’ve written a longer update in which I share the whole story of what’s been happening for me — just click the link below to continue reading. That may be a bit “too much information” so please don’t feel pressed to read on unless you’re curious to hear the story of my journey in more detail.

In practice and service,

Terry
