Thanks Kirk - I am most grateful for the support right now as I am scared and my hubby is away on business in San Fran until Tuesday. I sneak away from the kids to see what advice I can glean from all the brave survivors on the site and you are right..no point in worrying & faith in God will get us through this. Hopefully, I can post good results from the next biopsy (which is a U.S. guided needle biopsy to my right thyroid gland) and is to happen one day this week. Not at the cancer centre but my local hospital in Abbotsford, BC: by the way we don't yet have a cancer centre close by, but a hospital converted to a cancer centre is where I had my partial glossectomy & my specialists have been everywhere.(Makes it quite confusing & doesn't help much with the stress, but a cancer centre will be in Abbotsford by 2008!) Back to kids & soccer, going to enjoy the sunshine...I hope your hurricanes are gone & wish you sunshine also!
