The mental aspect of our fight is at least 50% of the battle. You all have a strong and healthy attitude that will be most beneficial in defeating this horrid disease. Like many before you, you will get thru this and you will be better for the small price you pay. Stay focused and stay tough and your journey will be better.
Happy Holidays with plenty more to come.
