I'm sad to hear of your mom's passing. I keep a place in my heart for all of our sisters who have gone, and your mom will be with them. Thank you for letting us know, and if you want to just "pop in" and let us know how you're doing we'd be happy to hear from you.

Kim, your post was especially painful for me. I was diagnosed with extensive Brain Mets on Thursday and had my fifth WBR today. I am also 53 years old and never thought this challenge would present itself. I am so sorry for your loss.
