Hi Peta, Thanks for posting and updating us on your sister.

Congradulations on having a baby girl!!!

As for your sister not feeling good, that may be from the chemo. I

am Praying that the shadow on her lung is just an infection. With the

chemo getting her blood counts low it is quite possible. I am Praying

for her. Please keep us updated. Ingrid

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't written in awhile but I haven't been feeling real well

and I have been out of town for a while because my grandfather died.

I hope that everyone is well and as painfree as possible.
