I may be a decent caregiver but I know I would be an awful patient. In answer to your response would be "Do not hurt for us Sweetheart", please do not hurt or atleast for too long. Your support and love for us allows us to be able to bear another day dealing with things like this. Although this is an ugly saga, I could not think of a better place to be. Well, besides sitting on a cure (wink).

Your love does make me feel better. We are surrounded by love and support, things that others may be lacking. I am so blessed, as we all are, to have a place to come where everyone understands. This is that place, this is our home. As Rich stated in a seperate post, he feels sorry for those who do not have an advocate to decipher what is in front of us, I do too. Luckily, we are each others advocates, we can come here to decipher, to gather ammo for these appointments. Cancer has entered our lives but thankfully we have a haven her at Her2, a family like no other.

I love you Marejo, wrapping you arms around me, praying for us to fight and win, your supportive words....they reign supreme in my book. I am so blessed to have friends like you in our corner.

Thanks for taking my pain and making it your own, how utterly unselfish. Then again, "That is just the way you wis (yes...wis)!! I love you more with each day that I know you. Now while you stop hurting....I am gonna get that pretzel recipe and gorge myself tonight!! LOL>>Believe51

PS: Instead of bows and wrapping paper for gifts, I use lace, toule and creative touches instead of a plain bows. I will be dipping these pretzels in dark chocolate and adding them to my gifts instead of that bow. That is, if there are any left! Gulp!
