Marty, thank you for the research you did and the post.... You have given
me another prayer to add each night, that this initial message of hope comes
to fruition quickly. I know there are many here whose eyes filled with a
tear like mine did when they read your post. I pray that the do find cures
for all who have found themselves on the cancering journey. God Bless all
who are and their loved ones.... Carla
