Hello Angels!
Until I discuss this more with Lisa I am not going to say too much but just enough for you all to know what is up.
As of Monday we have stopped all chemotherapy and we have "admitted" Lisa into home based hospice. She needs all your positive energy, prayer and thoughts.
When Lisa "approves" me posting more I will - promise!
Love and Light
Mel

Saddened at this moment
I know Lisa would not like that, but we have been together on this board for something over 3 years - maybe 4 by now. I have been missing her quips and sage advice she is so good at.
May the Loving Presences (her father and others) stand by and keep her company. I am sure your home will be filled with them and the comfort they provide.
Let her know she has {{{BIG HUGS}}} from me.

Praying for Lisa and Mel. So upsetting to hear when someone is not doing well and has reached the stage of needing hospice. I pray for her comfort.
