Mel,
Im truly sorry about the loss of Lisa, I've only been on this board for a short while and any post from her were encouraging and uplifting. I cant help but think about her daily and hope that things are better for her now. Those quarters have been in circulation for about 6 months in Canada. Everyone in my family must have one as a good luck charm now. Im very lucky to have the family, friends and health care that Canada offers. I could be very negative about cancer for just getting it but to be honest, Im very thankful. Today, I was sledding with my kids and enjoyed every minute of it. Who cares that my kitchen is full of boots, suits and snow!. I realize how lucky I am to have such a supportive and close knit family, who have been there for me every step of the way. For my specialists, doctors, and nurses, who have been exceptional. For this web site and the many friends I have made because of it and the amount of comfort I get from just reading the posts. So even though, its a tough road and you never know what is at the end. You take the time to smell the roses and appreciate the sites along the way.
My thoughts are with you and Lisa.
God Bless
Dawn Butt
