Sue. I have been thinking strongly of you this past week and especially today. It's been 7 months since my Jim passed away. There were a lot of similarities in both our husbands treatments and progression. We've traveled the journey with them and now we travel it with God walking with us. . He is my only strength that gets me through the day. Yes, we have met lots of wonderful people here on the board. I really haven't posted since Jim passed away, but I do at times pay a visit here and my heart breaks when I read the postings and I get all these flash-backs but I am hopeful and delighted when I see "clear margins" etc. There is hope--never give up. I wrap my arms around everyone who suffers with this disease and the caregivers who give their "all" hoping for miracles and doing everything possible to bring comfort and care to our loved ones. God Bless you all.
