Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 76 | Dear friends, you are all so wonderful, brave & supportive! I cannot thank you enough for your kind words when all seems bleak..I can feel the LOVE! I actually do feel much better after a rough couple of days but feel so blessed to hear from you all & wish you LOVE, JOY of the SEASON and continuing good progress. I was told so little by the hospital I didnt know quite what to expect..I am awaiting the pathology reports from the excised lobe and I am hoping that my results will be as positive as my dear cyber friends! Thank You

I'm so glad that you are feeling stronger. I'm hoping to hear good news with your pathology report. Sorry your medical team are not more communicative - it helps to have all the info possible.
Thinking of you, love and light from Helen
