Yes Dore. One month after Lisa died, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a very difficult year in many ways and there was a point when this group was almost absconded by someone taking advantage of the devastated emotional state I found myself in, but in the end, our group survived and with the blessings of Lisa's mom, we continued and grew. My wife was told about the harshness of chemo, but with the supplement regime my wife took during the chemo, much was avoided. And I will add this. Wheatgrass was a key to her health during the chemo. My wife did very well and her Hb never dropped below 11 and there was no loss of bone mass from the chemo. Today, my wife is well and we lived through a couple more scares this year, but she is now a proud 5 year survivor.  :biggrin

Dear Andy,

So glad to know that your wife is well. She must be a pillar of inspiration and strength for you just as you must be for her.
Though i do not know her please send her my love and let her know that i will remember her in my prayers.

Thank you so much for taking time to respond.  You all confirmed some of my husband's and my thoughts about the port.  I feel like I can go into this appointment with a little more confidence about our desires for our daughter. 

She just got discharged from the hospital this afternoon.  She was in 3 days because of a nasty viral infection that resulted in difficulty breathing.  They had to do a bunch of blood work and she put up a pretty good fight while they tried to find the veins... the doctor's told me they'd never seen one this little and sick who's so strong!  I was almost proud of her for making them work so hard.  She's got a fighter's spirit and that will take her far in this life.

I am sorry to read about your daughter hospital stay. I hope se is doing better now.  :hugfriend
