Re: update on me

Pam, it's understandable to be feeling discouraged, but never give up hope. The others have expressed it very well. Does your community have any free or low cost services available to cancer patients? Sometimes a social worker or your cancer society may have some contacts of people who may be able to come in and offer support.
Above all, keep the faith.
