Flori,

You have been through a lot. I am encouraged by reading your whole experience. Your and all other ladies' experiences are real, and that is what I wanted to hear.

I am going to talk with my oncologist about this. and you are right, there is a time when we need to be aggressive with our treatment. I feel much better now.

Thank you.

Kim
