Oh Lovey, I am so sorry that you are dealing with such issues. Seems to me that fighting to beat breast cancer is hell all by itself and should exclude you from any other fighting. I do not have the advice you seek but I am sure someone, somewhere does. I send you a hug and let you know I wish I could be by your side.

What I do know Sherry is that when we face the most challenging parts of our lives and feel doomed, look into your heart for it holds the answer. I think the most difficult part of this is when children are involved. Whatever you chose I have faith will be what is best for all parties involved. As for the medical, Ed lost his when he was unable to work. Besides some of the hoops we had to jump through, he has gotten the care he deserves....and this is Rhode Island!! The rest will work through somehow, it always does, sometimes though, it is not easy.

You are a lovely person Sherry and someone who has fought so hard to conquer cancer. I believe you deserve peace and happiness at the least. Only beauty and love should surround you today and always. I pray for the clarity you will need to see this through. I know your strength and feel that given time you will do what is best. Remember to include what you desire and deserve in life to help you with any decisions you may have to make. Here is to you making the choice that will bring you the gifts of life that you are entitled to. I love you.>>Believe51

PS: If you need reinforcements let me know, lately I am a force to be reckoned with!! (smiling)
