Dear Group,
Thank you. I had been feeling all alone, overwhelmed and more depresssed than ever. I can see now that I have the support of people who have walked ahead of me, gone through the pain, and emerged to be able to encourage me to move forward, because everything might be all right. In addition to your comments and very direct reactions, I have found some direction and useful tips.

I'm still two weeks away from a biopsy of my chest, but I have an appointment with the Moffitt Center in Tampa for a consultation and my records have been received by MD Anderson Orlando and by the University of Texas Medical Center. I should be hearing from them this week.

Thank you. I am going to have more questions and I know I am still lost. Thank you for showing me enough light to make it through this day.

Yours,
Johanna
