Dear Cindy,

My heart just goes out to you every time I read one of your posts. I feel your pain...I hope you are feeling a little better knowing Harry is almost done! Only 4 more treatments, I pray you can both start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I know my husband Ron was so RELIEVED when the treatments were finished. He no longer had to wear that mask. I'm sure Harry will feel the same way too. Maybe it would help you just to try to take it one day at a time. When you wake up, just think about making it the best day possible...for yourself, Harry, and your family. Don't even think or worry about tomorrow. Just concentrate on today. In time when Harry has started healing more, then you can think about tomorrow. Give yourself a well needed rest. It seems like you have the weight of the world resting on your shoulders, and you shouldn't be doing that to yourself. Sending hugs your way, and keep hanging in there, this phase is almost over.

Best wishes,

Shelley
