Thanks Malka, I'll pass ypir advice on to her. And I'll have to be careful but will be glad to give her a big hug. My mother and my youngest sister are both bc survivors (Mom had a mascectomy 22 years ago and Sheryl had a double mascectomy with chemo 15 years ago) and were at the hospital with us yesterday. Knowing how much good it does to have people to talk to who have been there and done that, I'm really glad they both live here in Chico. Sheryl brought us some wonderful home made chicken chimichangas and a salad for dinner yesterday eve. Yum.
