Hey Kate, I'm praying that those meds have exceptional power as they enter your body and knock the socks off those BC cells! You are so amazing and I know that you will be strong in your determination to get well. We miss you more that you will ever know. As I think about you now, I would love to have this whole computer screen filled with zillions of pictures of you and all our warrior sisters talking and laughing and crying and loving the special moments in life! Wish I could see your face and send more than a cyber hug! I'm sending prayers your way and lots of love. ma
