Page’s Story

Site created on June 3, 2022

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting. As many of you know, Page has been struggling with cancer for a number of years. As of last week, she moved back to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area to live closer to her friends and family. She is residing at Amira Choice of Bloomington, but has already been hospitalized, but will hopefully be released tomorrow with an effective treatment plan. She is in the process of setting up her medical care team here, as well as arranging her new apartment. She tires easily, and struggles with gastric issues that can make getting proper nutrition a challenge, leading to fatigue. She is also dealing with chronic pain, some of it related to the cancer and some not. 


She would love to see old friends, and could use assistance in setting up her new apartment. If you're interested in visiting, please send a message so you can get her contact information. we will be setting up a calendar to help keep things straight- when your doctors are giving you "the good stuff' your memory can be affected!
