Re: Brain mets

Jeana, Just wanted to tell you that I was thinking about you and sending lots of prayers and good vibes your way!!! We are all so lucky to have this place (home in a way) of comfort and understanding that gives us the ability to exchange wisdom and ideas and most of all HOPE!!! Glad to be a part of such a neat group of women even if I don't like the reason "why" we're all here. Hugs and Hope always !!!
