Tee Corinne diagnosed with cancer

(For those of you who don't know who she is, my best description of Tee is that she's the Deb Willis of lesbian photography—knows everyone, works tirelessly to promote the work of other artists while doing her own thing, and we wouldn't know the names of half the lesbian photographers out there if it weren't for her.)

As some of you already know, Tee Corinne has been diagnosed with cancer of the bile ducts which has produced a 5.5 cm tumor in her liver. Treatment options are now being discussed. She has stopped teaching (much to her distress) and is making as much order in her life as time and energy permit. Jean Sirius is staying with her for the duration. Jeanne Simington is handling her business affairs. She is pursuing both traditional and holistic options. She does have emergency surgery insurance, but her bills are mounting dramatically. Any financial assistance you might be able to offer would be most appreciated. Please send checks made out to:

Tee A. Corinne

A website and blog have been set up to share information about her condition.

She wishes to thank you all so very much.
