Re: Gammaknife, Tykerb...reality check

Denise, a room full of kids sounds like great 'medicine'! many people have asked me how I handle my diagnoses and treatments with two very little ones with me all the time... I always say, 'I don't know how people handle it without?' Kids have a magnificent way of keeping you and your brain too occupied to live in 'cancerland.' They fill your days with laughter and hugs too!
