As many of you may have heard, Bruce Parkhurst has recently been
diagnosed with cancer (I'll include a couple of snippets from other
messages, below). She asked me, however, to let her IALLT/LLTI friends
know that although any form of leukemia is serious, she's quite
optimistic, that the prognosis is quite positive (they caught it early
and she's in good health), and that she's being a good girl and doing
her chemo. Nonetheless, please do send cards and photos (as noted
below). She really misses us (as we do her).

Go girl! (to quote one of your own favorite phrases)

Bruce Parkhurst, former Director of the Geddes Language Center, wanted
me to let everyone know that she has just been diagnosed with acute
myeloid leukemia, type M3, and will be undergoing intensive chemotherapy
treatments immediately at a hospital in Pennsylvania . It's a serious
cancer but one that has high survival rates when caught and treated
early. She'll be
in the hospital for the next 2-3 weeks. Due to her compromised immune
system, Bruce cannot receive flowers, but said she would very much like
to have us, her former coworkers, friends and associates, send her
photos of themselves that she will display in her room to create a
positive atmosphere and help the treatment process. Any such responses
will be greatly appreciated.
Her address is as follows:
Hamot Medical Center
201 State Street
Room 719
Erie PA 16550
