Hello, I am writing this to clear some things up about Derin and her current state. First off, she does have cancer both in her blood and tumors on her ovaries she has also had a few gastro-intestinal issues. For anyone who feels the need to question this please don’t, some have even felt that they should be provided proof, for anyone who feels this way please feel free to disassociate yourself from us as that is an incredibly bad and undesirable attitude to have. I have heard that some people have questioned her illness because she ofter speaks of a new or different illness, well for those who don’t know what cancer is or anything about it, it can cause a lot of side effects. Derin also may say things that sound a bit contradictory because she is on some fairly serious meds and isn’t always fully aware of what she is saying. It has also come to my attention that some people have have been concerned and others angry that Derin has made some dismal sounding posts on her blog and facebook, ok again for those who haven’t heard cancer is a life threatening disease, who wouldn’t get depressed and Derin likes to express her feelings which can apparently be a bad thing in a word full of ignorant and hateful people. For anyone who is familiar with Derin’s sister Devin on facebook, please do not listen to anything she says about Derin, Devin has been extremely hateful and is a very unreliable source of information. If anyone is concerned about her and feels that they need more information please feel free to contact Derin or if you can’t get ahold of her you can contact me although be aware it is a depressing situation and I have a hard time talking about it. Finally for all who have been and are interested in being supportive of Derin, thank you, and we welcome your friendship, for those who don’t, as stated please feel free to disassociate yourself.
Thanks,
Phil H
