My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Re: Mayo ELISA Echinococcosis Test Link

This is the link to the Mayo ELISA testing for Alveolar Echinoccocosis. It explains that imaging (liver ultrasound) is the most important diagnostic element, but this is combined with ELISA testing and exposure history.

Any doctor can access this site and order the test.

Ova and parasite (O&P) testing is not part of this diagnostic workup and does not apply to this disease.
