Hi Kate!
By the time the 4 zillion prayers get to you and make their stand against the enemy inside your brain, there just will NOT be room for that dastardly 5mm devil! You are incredible in every way....for letting us know your news and letting us pray for and love ya, for being so scared and fighting anyway, and for being the fantastically wonderful person you are>keeping on helping others as you fight your own battle with that lousy loser brain met that is getting ready to be zapped into nowhere. Cancer just doesn't get it that these 'ol gals are tough to scare off! Here's to a triumphant battle! ma
