Thanks girls for the support, I know I try not to look at the stats because they would depress me into slicing my throat (exaggerating!!). We appreciate the stats for what they are worth but know they are just that. The 'Laws of Averages' (my stats-LOL!) says that there are survivors that conquer and with that I feel "Why can it not be my stage IV husband?? Why not you??"

I do BELIEVE I shall live long enough to see a cure or close to it. Since the beginning of this journey many wonderful things have happened, one of them being the Tykerb. By the way when it made the news I had over 50 phone messages!!

We are all searching for the same things. If we keep the faith, pray for one another, be careful where we donate, support BC, make awareness....we will get to the cure.

Here is to all of you Warriors, may your faith and prayers for one another help us to find what we are all searching for. I love you all!!
