Dear Odette,

I am so very happy to hear that your scans weren't what you feared the most. I left you a private message last night and have been thinking about you all day. Stay strong Sweetie and know that we are all here for you all the time.

Love & Hugs,
Nicola

Taken off of Gemzar immediately and began 15 rounds of WBR which I completed on July 26, 07. CT scan on 7-26-07 significant progression in the liver mets.
