Attn: & Jackie Re Fixing Frannie/masto

January 1, 2002

and Jackie:

I just got your emails and I am about to go directly to Amazon.com to order

the book you suggested, " Fixing Frannie " by Frannie Rose. As I said, I

didn't relate to the symptoms I read on the website, but it sounds like there

are things in her book that may " ring some bells. " I am almost afraid to ask

this next question, but I will go crazy awaiting on the arrival of the book

in the meantime -- Can you tell me, so was Frannie " fixed " ? If not " cured "

are her symptoms treatable? I mean is she doing OK? I am in a bit of a

shakey mindset right now and while I don't want to run from the truth, but

rather towards it.... but I am also a bit concerned if the book will leave me

feeling hopeless. I hope it will be informative and hopeful.

, I believe it was you that said that tests can rule masto in, but

none can rule it out. I was a bit confused by that comment. Is it sort of a

" judgment " call regarding the diagnosis if certain criteria are met?

If you can and would like to suggest masto doctors, that would be great.

(I live in the DC/land/VA area and have family in NJ near trains to NY),

but will go where I need to. Also, if you want to pass along Frannie's

email (assuming this is OK with her) that would be most appreciated. One

thing I know is I have got to get to doctors that are very knowledgable to

what I am going through -- I have fooled around with the wrong people too

long, but trying not to beat myself up over it. I am sure we all have gone

through a lot of trial and error with both medications and doctors. Thanks

again for your care and concern. I feel your warmth coming through my

computer! Regards,Molly (by the way, I am compiling a list of tests you have

advised.)
