I, too, am glad to hear your wife is doing well. I have just recently been diagnosed with lung mets and have just begun treatment. It gives me hope to see that she is nearing her 10 year mark. Best of luck to her. Joy, you are also in my prayers that your tests on the 22nd will come back with some positive results.
