Diana48 said… - I saw your post to SARGE and I am so sorry that you are having to start a new journey but remember to keep good thoughts and an a good attitude and fight with all you got and this can be conquered also. I have often wondered how I will react if they say mine has returned but since I have already had my lung cancer, kidney cancer (not related) and now basal cells on my face, I am willing to fight anything. Will be thinking about you gal and know there are those who care.
