Hi Bonnie!!!

Welcome to our group...sorry you had to find us for the reasons you did, but

soooo glad you did. You'll find cancer patients, caregivers and SURVIVORS

in this group and all are here to help you get through this ordeal with

support, love, prayer... whatever you need. We laugh, we cry, we vent, yell

or

scream...we also have fun and tease...no judging, so don't worry about that.

We all know what you are going through and that helps sooo much to talk with

people who know and can relate to all the aspects of this horrible disease....

Now I'm already going to ask you to share with me.... can you tell me what

the spot on your eye looks like that is cancerous?? How were you diagnosed??

I have several sebaceous cysts... and I know you should get these checked

once in a while. This must be very scary for you and we'll be here for you!!
