Re: HELP!!!! Would YOU do it?

September 19, 2005

Narice, I know both of you have got to be terrified. We here are all

Praying!!! So I feel that Phil will be fine. If it were me I would

take the chance and perhaps have the liver mets go away. I feel that

the idea of having the cancer be gone out of the liver is truely

worth the chances of the chemo. The chemo may or may not cause a

reaction. More then likely it will not. Is that not worth the chance

of being cancer free?? I would feel for me that it would be worth It.

And with all the Prayers I just know it will go well. Ingrid
