Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 42 | I'll be pasting more information about my cancer today. I had to get a new copy of my biopsy report from my doctor. I'm really not frightened at all. I'm a very strong, healthy and resilient person. I'm going to beat this. This cancer is going to be wishing it had never tried to pick on me. Thank you for all your kind words
