Dear Shelia,
I am so sorry that you lost your dear friend Mary Jo. This is the sad part of our disease. We have so many joys, when things go well and then the sadness when time comes to an end. I am attending a "celebration of life" party this Sunday. My friend, Emily, has been fighting pancreatic cancer for 18 months. She and her family sent out very sweet invitations. The last words on the invititation were "we think God has new plans for Emily's future." So I hope that God has a special plan and place for your dear friend Mary Jo.
Good news on the shrinking nodes.
All the best, Catherine
