Hi Marily,

Thanks for sharing that thought provoking poem. It made me sad as I remember there are so many who struggle and suffer with stage 4 breast cancer. I truly am so sorry about that and like everyone else, wish it weren't so.

Congrats on your 8 years being NED. How wonderful for you.

Oh they "whys" of this disease. That's what always throws me. Why some treatment isn't effective for - why some it is - why some succumb to the disease and others don't. There is no rhyme or reason to this dreadful disease.

Again, thanks for the poem. May everyone who reads it offer up a prayer for those who struggle daily with this disease.

Love & Peace,

Mary Jo
