Dear Joe and Christine,
Words cannot begin to express the gratitude that I feel for having the opportunity to share my concerns, my fears, my success stories, etc. I have a husband who is computer illerate, and I continue to marvel at the spouses, especially you--Joe, that are helping to improve the quality of our lives.
My Oncologist tells me that I am the exception, rather than the norm, because I am constantly questioning treatment and procedures. I have so much to learn from folks like you, Sheila and Kate. This weekend, we lost Nicola, who was an inspiration for us all.
I have a sister who is 16 years older than me, and there are none wiser. Time and time again, she has preached to me to "let go and let God." It is wonderful advise and applies in so many situations.
I am have been blessed. I count this website as one of my many blessings.
Many thanks for your heartfelt generosity.
Louise
