Hello, Lillian, Dear: I agree with you. Your article is a perfect example
(remember the one I edited for you last winter?) Excellent! I think when I
get my head on straight (probably next Wednesday), I might submit a short
article myself. Mine won't necessarily involve the quality of my care,
because I personally have no complaints in that area, but will probably deal
with the importance of positive support and a sense that perhaps you DO have
some power over this thing, after all! As you know, my "spousal support"
was anything but positive -- just the opposite -- but my family and friends
(and coworkers) were nothing short of wonderful. I can't stress the
importance of this forum enough, either, although during my worst times I
didn't know about it. Things would have been much easier if I had. Even
though I'm not online much anymore -- just a few times a week for short
periods -- doesn't mean I have forgotten ANYONE on this line. You have all
become very dear to me, and I would welcome any private emails should I not
be online. Better get off now -- I'm supposed to be doing something vitally
important, but I can't remember what it is!! Love, Kathy
P.S. Marthacake! Where are you?

Go for it girlfriend, I think the more who write for the site pages the
better. Everyone has a different cancer, different perspective, different
experiences; but all are survivors and that's the whole point. People enjoy
reading about other's, it helps them and seeing someone's pictures causes a
relating expierence. Thanks, I will be looking forward to it. Your friend,
lillian
Warmly, lillian
