Re: Chemo Failure #3...now I'm doing what???
Chris, I couldn't help but be angry when I read your post. You are the master student warrior patient here. And this just makes me so mad for you. I've learned so much from you and gained strength when I needed it from your strength. I will join the others in outrageous prayers for miracles in your treatment and exceptional wisdom in those who provide your care. Prayers and love comin' at ya, Chris. May this treatment be exactly what is needed. Please feel all the love and strength headed your way.
