Very well said Gloria.

Sorry for having sounded 'harsh' but I guess it was all coming out. Both illnesses have a huge impact on the family and everyone seems to be suffering.

Today was a much better day - emotionally. We had a nice family dinner and were able to talk about a few things.

Simon had his pick done - 2 lines.
We have also learnt that he's going to have chemo 33x as many times as rads.
