Wow Mandi, you certainly have had a rough road. Big hugs sent to you. I'm heading for Hopkins myself on the 4th to have my partial glossectomy and I'm getting more anxious as the times gets closer. But, what else can we do when faced with cancer? We either treat it or we let it kill us. I refuse to let it kill me, it's that simple!

I hope you're taking care of yourself also. I know you're a pro at this, I remember Dennis's first battle and reading your posts. Shame he has had to deal with it all over again, and to such a severe extent. I'm praying for you Mandi and for Dennis.

Get some sleep,
Minnie
