Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Thanks for the update Lynda . . . It's a shame that even one treatment was necessary - but I guess that wasn't in the cards for you! Regardless, unless you do whatever it takes to get rid of all the cancer, you'll wonder if there wasn't something else you could have done if it gets worse. We'll definitely keep you in our thoughts and prayers. One thing for sure - You've proven you've got the determination to beat this - and you have the support system to help you get there! . . . Just keep using everything at your disposal to get there! . . . 'Cause you're going to do it lady! I feel it in my bones! Love and prayers, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
