Hi Christine,

As Dorothy would say, "There's no place like home." It's great news that you are out of the hospital and can start to get your life back again. Even though you may not see it in yourself, it is obvious to all of us that you truly are a strong and inspirational woman. We are all so thankful that you are back with us. I'm looking forward to reading about your progress. Take care....Geri

Christine: WONDERFUL NEWS
Everyone has worried about you in the hospital and now we are all so glad you are finally back. Just relax and recover from the surgery & the hospital experience. Congratulations on raising such a fine thoughtful son as Travis. He kept us updated and his love for you shone through each post.

Thanks for all the kind words. They mean alot to me smile

Ive forgotten how bad you can feel battling cancer. Was struggling yesterday, thought I would go right back to the hospital. Saw my ENT who reassured me that Im doing very well. My son (Travis) ordered me home and in bed w/ the feeding pump running. Doing a little better now thanks to Travis.
