4. I'm so sorry. Hang in there. A sense of humor helps.

It's true that you need to take it one day at a time because one day to the next is sometimes all you can imagine. Each doctor's visit, surgery, treatments, one day after another. Moving forward.

All you need to handle is what is right in front of you.

Be good to yourself. Cry, rant, rage if you want. I did.

You'll feel what you feel and that's OK.

Hoping for the best possible outcome.

Lot of great people in this group.

They can help.

They helped me.
