Denise, Your posts are so honest and heartfelt --you are such a sweetheart. As I post this I hope your tests are done and all good!! I admire that you and Barb H are both teachers and continue to teach with what you are dealing with. You are so right that the minute you walk thru that classroom door, it all starts, students, grades, administration,lesson plans, committee work, parents, you know the drill!! See, I was a middle school teacher for exactly 31.8 years and I worked while Stage 4 until I had to have a mastectomy (prior lumpectomy) that was when I decided I had to make my change to retirement. So I am in your corner... and especially as a fellow educator.... in these tragic few days. Hugs, Ceesun
