For all of you who have been following Lea Wait’s updates about her cancer struggle…today she has asked us to share the news that she is giving up on her third set of cancer treatments and will be meeting with hospice today to make plans for her care.
She is weary and the treatment has left her with difficulties typing and even dialing the phone, so please hold off on those calls for now. She knows that she is loved and cared about and appreciates it.
We will update you as she shares her news. And because Lea is so amazingly resilient, don’t be surprised if you still find her at future Maine events.
Charlene D’Avanzo 
Thanks for the update. Will continue the prayers for this valiant woman. Louise Newton

Lea- you and only you know how tiring this struggle can be.You are the guardian of your own choices and they should be respected , no matter how hard that might seem to others. Allowing your body to tell you what is best is not giving up, never think that for a moment. Sending you love, and thinking of the many laughs with Bob and how he adored you. Let the summer wash over you, and enjoy the days as best you know to do. Love, Ellie
