"HI Cheryl,

Just wanted to say Hello! I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Unfortunately I don't have any answers or suggestions for you. I was hoping by now that the "elephant" would have left our house. It hasn't though. Even…"

"Hello Erin,
I personally am a fan of "mop up" chemo. Amy brings up a valid point though. I think this is the type of thing you do have to follow your "gut" on. We were asked in my husbands case, and he didn't have surgery…"

HollyJo/MOD replied to John H MOD's discussion What would you like to be doing in five years?

"Hi Ya John!
Good question...I don't have the same plans I did 3 years ago. I think I tend to think more about next month, instead of when we retire.
I just don't feel like we can make long term plans, maybe after the five year mark,…"
HollyJo/MOD replied to Eshively's discussion any way to relieve cough?
