Thanks everyone!

Jackie07 You must have missed a few of my other posts awhile ago regarding my mother. She passed away June 17, 2008. I was just about to start my taxol/herceptin regimine the day we buried her. I had to start 2 days later. It was a very difficult time for me, but I got through it because of her strength and mine. She was a true fighter and an amazing Mother to both my brother and I. My father died when he was 31 of Melanoma, so cancer is way too familiar in our family. In the end both my parents died of mets to the brain. I try not to think about this but once in a while it creeps up. I hope and pray everything will continue to be good with me. It's never easy when the person you love so much is no longer with you.

Thanks again for your kinds words.
