Tricia,
Your post really came at a good time -- especialy for me. Yes, there have been a number of women who have passed away recently from this dreadful disease which makes me realize just how precious life is. You should never feel any guilt for surviving for so long -- you should be admired for your stamina and fight. You are an inspiration and give all of us hope that we too can and will survive for many years to come. Good luck with your move. I know you will be happy being near to your family.
