I'm sorry that the news came back as grim as it did. However, all cannot be lost. We've all heard stories of people hearing from doctors they have months to live and the person goes on and can live for years. Doctors do not know everything. Fight with everything you have Raven. We love you.

Raven, I can't imagine what you are going through right now... You have just received the toughest news there is. I hope that in your real life, your friends and family are holding you up on their shoulders and showering you with love.

Angiosarcoma is so cruel. Because it is so rare, it is not adequately researched, and so I would encourage everyone who cares for Raven to contribute to the research efforts in understanding this disease.

I found this site to be good; apparently, some of the leading research is being done at Sloan Kettering, so that is definitely the place to go for guidance on treatment:

Ironically, I know someone who had angiosarcoma; I am reminded of her at every meal, as I inherited her dining table and china cabinet. Angiosarcoma needs research dollars, and I hope that those of us who have come to care for Raven over the years will contribute in her honour.

Raven, thank you for sharing your passion with us these many years. I send you my love and best wishes in these dark hours, and hope that you find some comfort in them. I wish there were more I could do...

You are in my thoughts. <3
