Hi Mel,
I just wanted to let you know that you and Lisa are continually in my thoughts. Her words of wisdom and willingness to share on this board brought me so much hope at times when I didn't have it. I'm so sorry that you are now at this stage and I still hope for a miracle.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.
