Hi and Happy New Year! I know that this development isn't what you wanted, but you have some beautiful reasons (great picture) to fight like the dickens! I'm so glad that your onc got on it right away and you're doing the biopsy soon. Just knowing and getting into motion with treatment will get your hope and thinking back on track. I'm sorry you even had to hear those words and have to keep at it, but you'll surely have my prayers and positive thoughts headed your way! Lots of love and good cheer for a peaceful and hopeful New Years Day with your family. God can take the worst mess and turn it into an awesome miracle! I'm believing you'll one of his best miracles! ma
