You were one of the first ones to respond to my post "Good News" regarding Bill's first scans and post treatment assessment. I thought to myself..."How can you even read these positive posts when you have death staring you in the face?" I don't think I could!
So consider yourself relieved of being on the cheering squad and let us just be there for you, good and bad, pain or not, crying, whining, aware of your fate, ignoring your fate...whatever..we will listen and support you.
I think we all feel powerless to know what to say other than, I am here.
