Wink Re: How is Sheila?

I forgot to ask you if you had seen a good dermatologist about the skin mets? Sometimes a good dermatologist can remove a few of them in the office with local anethesia. The procedure is about the same as a punch biopsy. The only difference is that the dermatologist removes the whole met instead of just taking a sample of the tissue.

Re: How is Sheila?

Thinking of you and sending thoughts and prayers your way. Hope the drs figure something out that will work on those mets. I know how time consuming family matters can be, being the primary caretaker for my father too. Hope things take a positive turn in 2011 for you, you sure deserve a break.
