My God Charm,

You are a true warrior! I can't believe how much strength you had going through the first Tx (and even more so after). Your courage has really helped me to get through this so far.

I don't know HOW you were able to focus through the Tx.

I looked at the document over a month ago however I was so overwhelmed with documents from my MO, ENT and RO, and books from friends that I only skimmed it. I'm going to go through it again as I need to think about life after Tx.
