Marie,
I wish to share with you a little story. Christine's Mom was terminal with metastatic bc in my home. She made Christine promise to live until 75. Of course Christine made the promise.

When we came to San Diego and met with her radiation oncologist, she mentioned the promise.

His answer was "Why do you want to die so young? As these little buggers pop up, I'll blast them and then I will have to hand you over to a younger doctor when I retire"

"We are all going to die someday, but you will not die from brain tumors"

Keep the Faith...You are in our prayers.

Regards
Joe and Christine
