Dear Mandy - You have a beautiful, amazing and courageous daughter! My heart goes out to you and just aches at what you are having to go thru. When my son was diagnosed with SCC I felt my heart breaking but somehow we made it through the dark days and a large part of the strength I felt came from right here on this site with the loving wisdom and compassion I found. Stay close to OCF and do email me if you need to talk. (you, too, Darcy) - I'm sure we can help each other.
