Dear Tiffini,
I wish I had words of wisdom to give you here. I can only say that, as a sister in this fight, I love you and wish only good news from here on. You are certainly in good hands with these doctor's and, more importantly, in Good Hands with God. So, you are never alone, OK? Has the Doctor thought of "tic doloreaux" for the severe facial pain? Might be worth asking.
God bless,
Judy U
