Re: Dear Sisters of our Beloved Jessica (JML)
Ugh, I had a whole thing typed out, and I hit submit, and I was logged out....
I finally got to watch the video today on my work computer! Jessica is another pioneer paving the road for us all in treatment of Breast Cancer. Hopefully, all her grit, tanicity, and her fighter self will continue to finding ways to cure cancer. Because she went through 100 chemo's and 7 surgeries maybe people that are just given the blow of BC or have reoccurance's decision will be easier because she did trials and never gave up!
In life and in death Jessica's sweet spirit is another person in my life to follow by her example. She was what the true meaing of the term Battling/Fighting Breast Cancer. Simply amazing, and I cannot even begin to imagine what she went through with all her 100 treatments. I wish I would have known her on the forum I would have said Thank You for being such an inspiration with such courage and grace!!
Jessica was an Angel on Earth and in Heaven.
