Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Oh, Lynda, I hate it when doctors give us time lines on how long we will live. My lawyer's father was given 2 years, and he is still here after 10 years. They did the same thing to my brother, who had lung cancer, and he got angry and lived much longer. Honey, you will beat this, even though you will have to go through the treatments. We will help you to get through this, and we will continue to pray and light candles. Just remember that medicine is a mystery. You are in our thoughts...love you so....Lea and ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``` Re: Re: Skin Pain Lynn,Just got back from the PET scan.
