Sandy,

I'm not going to blow sunshine up your you-know-what. Having this disease sucks. Going through the treatment for this disease sucks. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who has stared the "beast" in the mouth can have as many bad days as they need to cope with what has happened to them. I just hope when you do have a good day, you allow yourself to enjoy it. I'm hoping that day comes soon for you.

Hang in there...
