Charm, You are an amazing person who has helped countless people after all that you have endured. You deserve more than a break, my friend! xoxo

Thank you, Eric. Yes, we are kindred spirits!

Cheryl, my PET/CT was clear, thank goodness! Still waiting on HPV results. Also, I have a question for you. I know you used to work as a nurse. In all reality, how long do you think it will be before I can return to work as a PT?
