A second opinion is always a good thing, I think. Even though I ended up getting THREE and all were different!! But I achieved clarity in the process.
I want to share with you that I attended a lecture at our cancer center yesterday. It was given by recovering patients. One woman had been diagnosed with an overwhelming brain tumor. Inoperable. She was given 2 months to live. She was 6 months pregnant with a boy at the time.
It was a long medical saga, but the bottom line is, she was speaking to us yesterday, 8 years later, and her son was there with her. So the message is Keep The Faith! Miracles happen all the time.
