You're a warrior and a star tlcladygiraffe! I hope the radiotherapy shrinks this growth and your doctors can sort things out for you.

You're right, life is indeed beautiful and every day is a gift.

Peace and happiness to you at this time

tladygiraffe, my thoughts are with you and am hoping the radiation and treatments do their job quickly. This is such a trying time for you, which makes your words all the more potent. What a warrior you are - you have exactly the right attitude. Thank you for setting such an awesome example.

XOXO,

D.
