My son was 4 months behind David's treatment and I always looked forward to how David would update what was happening with his treatment so that I could see what might be coming up next with my son's Tx. I will always remember Amy's words to me of "Put your nurse from hell hat on . . ." which is exactly what I needed to do, and did and things took and upturn after that. And Liz, I agonized and cried with you many times and was awed at your strength and compassion. I am so glad you are here now to help others.
