Cathy,

I agree with you and have the same mantra, just live, stay in the fight b/c new things do come along! I have all the fighters on this forum to thank for that attitude. The whole BRCA thing is still a bit of a mystery to me. Cancer has so many facets, like a many headed hydra, I amazes me that researchers discover and address as much as they do! Such smart, young people! Thank God for them!

Heading up to the great, white north this coming week to Toronto. I have not been in Canada for decades and my first time to Toronto. My son loves the city and tells me to be sure to go to a Tim Horton's (do I have that right?) for some coffee. I will be sure to say a pray for you when I do.

In your corner!
