Dawn,
I wish Lyn the best as I know how brutal this disease can be. Please pass-on well wishes to Lyn from this group. Also, please take care of yourself.
I think we all need to say a prayer for Lyn.

Please tell Lyn to Hurry up and get back to us. Many of the most rewarding posts come from her. I have never responded to her posts but I always look for them as an inspiration and a positive note.
Love and light (as she always says),
My prayers are with her, Alice
