I appreciate hearing your experiences. I wish you all the best, too. I wish all of us good and continued healing. This cancer stuff... I never knew how hard it was... mentally and physically. Not talking (I have five year old twins) is the hardest. But we go on, don't we. Thanks again. Best healing wishes to you. -Michelle
