Barb,

So many people told me that the best thing to do for your friends during this journey, is to let them help however they can. It makes them feel better.

So if we friends can be of help---by listening, responding, caring and supporting----its the best thing you can do for us. So the helper continues to help.

Thanks for letting us help you, for sharing your thoughts, fears, life with us.

We are here for you.

Praying that new treatment will be the answer.
