Hi Lillian;
My name is beav. I been on line with all you molers now for about a week. I was
so overwhelmed by such a informative chat line I forgot to introduce myself. My
hubby is the one with cancer. I've been caring for him a little over 3 yrs. now.
We have researched, done clinical trials, went to mexico, went to a indian
healer, energy healers and we are still battling. We never like to leave one
stone unturned. Bucky (my hub.) has a rare angio sarcoma. We did radiation with
no success. If you might be able to find more info. on this we would deeply
appreciate it. I enjoyed looking at the album. I'm new to com. so I finally
figured it out. I think this com. had a hard time downloading. Anyway, I just
thought I would introduce myself and to say what a wonderful place to ventilate.
I can't always leave the house so this is a wonderful passtime. Good luck to all
you out there....Beav
