>Dear Todd:
I have recently been diagnosed with the same cancer as your Mother. Yes
there is hope. I am on my 2nd round of treatment which I have every 21
days. The new medicines out now are powerful. I had my lower left lung
surgically removed 2 and 1/2 years ago. The cancer is back in both lungs,
spine and right leg and
lymph nodes. I truly believe I am getting better and if you have the faith in
the power of prayer and healing your mother will find peace and an aura of love.
Please let me know how your mother is doing. I am 56. I will pray for her.
