just want to say
you are in the right place and that Christine is a great and encouraging resource for you. There are a number of others (do an advanced search on this site for pattyz's posts) and I know they will post soon. I feel blessed that I have not had mets to the brain and , therefore, don't have a lot of practical knowledge to give you. But I want you to know that we welcome you and care for you and understand being sooo scared. I, too, am a single mama of 2 grade school girls so there are elements to your struggle that I understand.
Stay connected and I'll be thinking of you.
