Thanks Once More
I still cannot believe this is finally happening for Ed even though he has strived for these results for so very long. NED is around the corner for the big guy, I really feel this. I am sure we will be afraid as that time comes nearer but we beg to be insecure!! My doctor has assured him that his body needs a holiday, nothing but pain meds. Let's face it, third treatment regime, last one being a total of 12 A/C's!! Makes even my stomach turn. He also promises us to keep a steady eye on his health since he realizes after all this treatment and stubborn bone mets, NED will be something we must adjust to.
Thankfully for us we have you all here to guide us into NED, to ease our minds, to help us with that adjustment. We would not know how to handle this disease without all your help. You have been such an important part of our journey. We are honored to call you our very Special Angels, you are spectacular examples of what I view as a Warrior.
Thanks Again, Forever Indebited>>Believe51
PS: Thanks Ruth for the words of that song. You guys are always thinking of us here in 'Lil Rhody!!
