Oh Chrisy,
Tears are cleansing - you had every right to let them flow. You are an amazing warrior and truly a gift and inspiration to all of us here. What a let down to go ready for treatment only to be turned away! Yet, through it all you keep your wonderful sense of humor.
In keeping with the chocolatefest in your honor, I am now going to grab some Rolos from a co-workers desk - oh, and a few Peppermint Patties for good measure. Thank you Chrisy, I needed a reason to break my vow not to touch them.
Much love and chocolate,
