Re: Need support

Dear Michka

I have no words of wisdom but wanted you to know I am thinking about you. Never, ever feel bad about needing support. That is why we are all here for each other. As a side, my ribs always bother me alot too but nothing ever came of it. Probably weakened due to all the treatment.

Stay strong - its hard as we have all been there with scares (me too) and many of us will have our scares in the future too.

My arms and thoughts are tight around you.
