Pam, I'm seeing you as so dog gone brave! I think you're making the move to take really good care of yourself. Wow, it's hard to shift from "working wonder" to self care, isn't it? But I think you're running with courage! I'm so sorry to hear that your friend has earned her wings, Pam. But I'll bet your friendship has been a real blessing to you both.
I'm prayin' that you and the doctor hit the right choice the very 1st time on finding the chemo that will knock the socks off those pesky bc cells.
Peaceful moments to you, Pam. ma
