Mandi,

It takes a big person to admit they are wrong. Right now, you must be standing about 20 feet tall. And I believe Mark is right up there with you.

This is such a horrible disease and it takes an enormous effort to stay on an even keel. Everyone "loses it" once in awhile and I think that it what we saw happen here. Thank goodness we are all normally sane and reasonable adults. Now that the venting is done and apologies have been said, I think it is time to get on with the purpose of this forum, which is to help each other deal with the horrible hand that life has dealt us. Information, compassion and understanding are important weapons in this battle and OCF is one of the best places to find them.

Cheers to you for being a big enough person to admit your mistake. smile laugh smile

Rainbows & hugs, wink

P.S. We think we are seeing signs that the chemo is starting to work for Heather. Her trismus has improved. 6 weeks ago, her teeth were locked so tight she could hardly get an ice chip between them. Now, I can get my finger between! We are hopeful that his means the tumor is shrinking and relieving the pressure on the jaw muscles. Keeping hope alive! Sunshine and rainbows may still be ahead for her. cool
