Re: how much more?

Thanks to all of you.... I was having a bit of pity party for the last few days and feeling so terrible didn't help the situation at all. I feel better today and look forward to tomorrow when I'll be a day stronger and closer to kicking this cancer in the butt...lol Spring is here now ... or at least the snow has all melted and a few days of sunshine will be much welcomed. Thanks to all for your words, I don't often allow myself to slip into such a funk... but it's been rough and I've of course been too hard on myself as usual..lol

Thanks again and everyone keep up with all your posts although I don't post often I read daily.....
