Maryann, you are always in my prayers, you have been since the first time I read one of your posts about a year and a half ago. You're probably tired of hearing what an amazing person you are but I'll say it again. I've never know such a person as you. I pray to God to give me half as much strength and courage as you have. Seems odd to pray for an infection but if it has to be something I pray that's it. You are always in my thoughts.
I love you, sweetie

well..
I don't know what to say Madame Dubois. I echo all of the sentiments from our Warrior Sisters. I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for good biopsy results...hope for an infection....and wish you continuing strength and courage and spunk and whatever else you use to get through all that has been thrown at you. Good luck to you.
