hi Lillian-
i'm actually Sharon -- John Smith is a trick my daughter played on me when she
downloaded the new version of Netscape for me.
had breast cancer, actually a recurrence after 10 years. I'm find, have been
under a lot of stress which i'm in process of clearing up. I am getting a CT
scan next week and if that's all clear, have an appointment in 3 months
(routine).
For my immune system, i'm attempting to eat greener, less meat, lots of
vitamins, and keep nice people around. I like it here.
Thanks for your response. It gave me a way to "hold" the tumor marker
information in a positive attitude sort of way.
