Brian,

Thank-you for your comments about my issues with how cancer comes into your life. It really doesn't matter does it, because what is important is the process of healing. I think I am just mad that the "Big-C" has hit again in my life. My grandfather passed after a long bout with esophogeal cancer (he chewed big time,) and my mother is a 8-year survivor of lung cancer and I am so thankful for her health. But it is still so frustrating to be aware that she still sneaks smokes now and then...so my feelings about addictive substances are pretty harsh right now. I just want to scream. Where this journey will take my husband and me is still so scary you know?

Thanks again,

Patty at Kapowsinpals
