Dawn,

I'm so glad you posted today, I can feel the energy in your post.
Even though my girls were older at my diagnosis - 17 and 20 - they were (and still are) my reason to fight this beast, no matter what it took. Also for my mother - who is just 19 years older than me, and I know my diagnosis crippled her, but she hid it well and was a great support.
I hope you and your family enjoy your Christmas, and that the feelings of peace and love continue forever.

all the best
caya
