Believe51 · 09-17-2008, 08:25 AM

Thanks for the wonderful updates of 'pieced' information as you get it. I will be thinking of her as she embarks on this new chemo regime. This is a great drug and has proven effective in so many others, I am praying the same for Mom.

And you Rich, have grown so very much since you have found us here. Your love, support and devotion for Mom shines so bright. You have researched and gathered ammo here and on other reputable sites to guide your Mother into her recovery.

So here is to you both: May you find the missing piece of her puzzle and may Mom have a fair fight to beat up those nasties.>>Believe51

PS.....'fair fight' seems so inappropriate being used in cancer-talk....none of this is fair to anyone who has this damn illness.
