Maureen, I am so sorry that your plate is this full and you are having to deal with that much. I do know that I have followed your journey since you first joined this family. I am amazed by you and your strength. Although you may not always feel that way I want to let you know as a bystander in your life I am so proud of you.

I am happy for you and your new counselor too. I wish you well and with much progress, this is important for you to find more of the peace you deserve. I already know that you realize that we will always be here for you, Sweetness. You are never alone on this journey.

I do echo the advice of a second opinion if you are uncomfortable with an answer. I have total faith in our OncoMan but there have been times during this journey that a second opinion was warrented. Not second-guessing the doctor even, just important issues. We do question and research on our own that allows more ammo to be taken to our doctor.

I wish you peace today and always. I say once more, you shall never walk alone!! We are always right here!>>Believe51
