Hello, everyone--

So I mentioned in August that Mom had 2 brain lesions -- most likely a result of the lung cancer she suffered last October. Mom had radiation treatments and she was holding her own, that is, until the next bit of bad news. Mom developed bone sarcoma (yes, that's bone cancer) in her right femur. She had radiation after the surgery and just after that, suffered a stroke. The cancer was just too virulent after that, moving rapidly from one organ to the next. Mom went into the hospital on December 3, 2007 and lost her desperate battle with cancer on Christmas Eve, Dec 24, 2007. My heart has been broken from the inside.

For all of you who have lost a loved one to cancer, my deepest sympathies. I know just how you feel. Please, encourage everyone you know to have those cancer screenings -- they are so important.

As always, thanks to everyone who stopped by, left comments, gave me favs and watch during my long absence. I appreciate it it all the way down to my toes. I'm a subscriber again, and I hope to contribute to the community this year. I hope everyone's 2008 brings good health, joy and prosperity.
