This e-mail is being sent via several routes and I apologize if you've received or see more than one copy. Rose wants to be sure that everyone is aware of her situation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello! I'm Rose's OM Ken (K0PP) and you're receiving this e-mail because you're one of the MANY who are either waiting on the delivery of an order or have made an inquiry about an carrying case or dust cover. Most of you have been made aware via the Elecraft reflector or Yahoo's KX3 reflector that she's had a cancer scare and has been taking chemotherapy treatments for several months. It's turned out to be extremely debilitating for her, and she's not been able to do much of anything. The "good" news is that after several CT scans and other tests the oncologists tell her she's cancer free and we both have confidence in this. The chemo- therapy is being done as a precautionary measure. She initially started the treatments on a once-a-week schedule, but found that they were simply too hard on her and has ... with the concurrence of the cancer center staff ... cut them back to two week intervals. She has five treatments left. Her sewing room is up a flight of stairs and she's simply not able to climb the stairs, even if she could sew. One of the side effects of the chemotherapy is neuropathy (SP?) in her fingers, meaning that she has very little feeling in her fingers and can't manipulate the many pins used to hold a bag or cover together for sewing. Actually, she needs to use both hands to hold most things ... a cup of coffee for instance. She gets around the house using a walker. It's been her practice to not ask for payment for an order until she tells you she's ready to sew or you, but several have sent payment anyway. If you're one of these, don't hesitate to request a refund if you'd like. She -will- be back to her sewing room in a few weeks and your orders will be filled. Thank you for your understanding and support! 73!
