Thanks for relating, Doolittle. I wish for NED for both of us. The waiting is so hard. I have plenty of sedatives to take and they let my husband come in the room with me. He doesn't have any metal in his body, so he signs a waiver and sits at the end of the table and puts his hand on my leg. As long as I know he's there, I can get through it with him and meds. So, I'm grateful for that.

Tammy, you and Kris have been through so much. It seems like you both make a good team and make the best of what you've got. Thank you for always being supportive of me, too. It takes a special person to be a caregiver. I don't know if I would be good at it. I hope I never have to find out!

Love to my OCF ladies!
Kerri
