Debbie, you have helped me and I thank you. I pray that you will be ok. This disease seems so ruthless and so unfair. But from the short time that I have been a part of this mess, it has been people like you that have given me the tools to understand where my mom stands and what may lie ahead. I truly believe that knowledge is power and you are one of the many who have given me this. I hope you realize how important your experiences are with the rest of us getting ready to face many of the same challenges that you have faced. I still don't know for sure what is in the cards for my mom, but I will learn as much as I can from wonderful people like yourself.
