I humbly request each of you, in your own unique way, to extend your prayers towards me. Recently, I marked my 87th birthday, a day that has always filled my heart with joy. However, this celebration carries a different weight as I’ve been grappling with a recent medical diagnosis. A thorough examination revealed that I am battling pancreatic cancer, a formidable adversary in the realm of health.

Under the care of an exceptional team of physicians, including Dr. Ki in Rhode Island and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, I am undergoing treatment. I fervently pray that the hands and thoughts of these dedicated professionals are guided by the divine as they work towards my recovery.

Despite the challenging road ahead, I am ready to confront this insidious form of cancer with unwavering determination. Many have asked how they can assist me in this journey, and I’m profoundly grateful for the outpouring of friendship and kind messages. The most powerful aid I seek, in addition to medical intervention, is the force of your prayers.

Your continued thoughts and prayers, expressed in your own way, mean the world to me. Thank you for your past messages and ongoing support. Even the smallest prayer is sincerely appreciated as I embark on this battle for survival.
