Thank you so much for "de-lurking" Theodora - I really appreciate your wisdom and support.

I am so sorry that you had to go through all this, with months and years of treatments and so on - but I'm very grateful and so thankful that it all worked, and that you're here posting (and de-lurking) to share your experiences, and explain what it was like for you - especially given that it's now 11 years later, and you're in very good health. THANK YOU!

I really appreciate your kindness and experience.

Here's to 'perky boobs' - lol - I can't help but try and find some reason to laugh about this.

Again, thank you all so much for your amazing wisdom, support and kindness through this. I appreciate it more than you know.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through, VC! I know first hand the devastation cancer brings to a family. My gut hurts thinking about it. But it seems to me that there have been so many advances and remarkable improvements in treatment that there is a lot of hope. I will keep you and your mother in my prayers and wish you strength in dealing with this challenge. Just take each day. BIG hug!
