Dear Christine,
One more note, PLEASE get a copy of the book "There's No Place Like Hope" It is written by Vickie Girard. I am not a "reader" very often, but this book is THE BEST. It is wriiten by someone who has been there, but not a "story of my life" type book. This book really helped me after my brother was diagnosed with cancer. It is straight forward and detailed about how she dealt with cancer, not always listening to doctors, but sometimes listening to her self. She fought and won her battle, and is doing well even after being told there was nothing else that could be done for her (that was about 10 years ago). Wonderful reading, informative and comforting.
