Dear Liza,
My sister-in-law, the quilter, made me a quilt while I was in treatment, using a "Hope" theme, the word "hope repeated throughout, some lovely colors. I look at it and see hope that never ends. All of us can retain hope for something, no matter what. Liza, I've been thinking and praying about you. I hope the chemo stops the cancer in its tracks. I have heard of people with seemingly hopeless cancers who have have experienced an improvement after experimental treatment.
I hope for you the best, too.
Anne
