Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 546 | Danny Boy, Jack is right! You definitely need to enjoy this good news. Yes, it is sad that others aren't as fortunate. And for awhile, I had ambivalent feelings when reading good news. I tried to be happy for others, but my sadness over Heather got in the way. But now, I think I can honestly say that although I will always mourn Heather, her loss no longer impedes my being able to feel happy when I read good news like yours. The sadness will always be there, but it is in its own place now and doesn't interfere with my happiness for others. So........don't let sadness interfere with your happiness for yourself. You deserve this reprieve, Danny! Enjoy it! I wish you continued success in your treatments. Love, rainbows & hugs,  Rosie
