Hi Joy!
Please keep telling us how you feel, what you think and, well, whatever is happening with you. Your honesty is so helpful to us all. You speak of your experiences, but you also speak for all who are walking the same walk. Remember that love sees through love's eyes....seeing you only as beautiful, worthy, loveable, and so important.
I'm prayin' for this treatment to keep on working hard to destroy the bad cells and let our "cutie" Joy get back her energy, sparkle, and hope once again. Much love and belief, ma
