Groosch Kathi.....I'm very sorry that you're hav'in to deal with this.
But I wanted to tell you, that my Mother-in-law faced this fight and won...that was 3 years ago....my Mother, also some 14 years ago too pulled thur this...and you can/will too!
All I can say is to echo others here...be positive...don't focus on the fear of the unknown, rather, draw strenght from all those who know and love you.
Me and Mrs.G will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers as you make your way to your complete recovery......{{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you Kathi....you'll find alot of Love and Support here from many...whenever you need it.
