Kathy, you have battled for every single thing you have gotten to fight your BC. Each and every step of the way, you have had to work with so many disadvantages, but you have done it each time. I'm saying prayers that your surgery went well and that you are resting peacefully and with those rotten mets gone!
Much love from the coast of Texas. ma
