Re: Guess it was a good run... Time for the gloves

You can do this again. You may not want to but I know you can do it. Pesky hide out. I understand as I had a dcis when I was still in treatment and removed. Its a shocker but I didn't have my breasts removed. I should have but every consult I saw said no. I very seriously contemplate getting them removed anyway. So you did and there was an escapee from the prison and I can only imagine how disappointed you are. We are here for you. All this cancer is very hard work and you unfortunately have to work harder but I know you can do it.
