Thanks for the recommendation, Nate. I will be holding you in my thoughts for a good scan result tomorrow. After all that you have been through, you need to catch a break somewhere! I like your attitude. I find that sometimes that anger stage of grief is so much easier to tolerate than the other stages. It's probably not good for the long-term, but it can get you through some tough spots. Also, I hope the tumour board can come up with a plan that is going to ravage that cancer instead of it ravaging you!

Be well,
Kerri
