Hello everyone.
I wanted to say thank you as well. My sister successfully (well, hopefully!) completed her 35 radiation and 7 chemos....35th radiation was today.

We know things are still going to be tough for a while but she believes that after the radiation and having to go every morning, that she can face anything now.

She still has a lot of voice...at least more than I had imagined. She can no longer eat or even swallow for that matter....Thank God for the Peg Tube...but I think once the healing stage begins she's going to be able. Or at least learn a NEW way to do it. I don't know, but this is all so much more than I had hoped for that I could cry for days with happiness. She surprised me with how very strong she was...she may only weigh 75 lbs but she is a tough old bird, that is for damn sure.

I know we have more to face and really won't know anything definite until after all the scans in a couple of months....but she is alive and I am happy.

Thank you all for all the unbelievable love and optimism and FACTS you give every day. I can never begin to tell you how helpful it has been....helpful is silly...invaluable is more like it. So many times when I didn't know what to do or say to help Marie through, I would come here and read and read and I always found some right thing that would get her through another aggrevation.

You are all wonderful people and those who find this site are indeed blessed.
Thank you.

Jane
