Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 Amy, You will be in our prayers today and every day till you get that ever important all clear. Your daughter sounds like such a brave little trooper. No one knows why or when horrible things will befall us but all we can do is turn to our family and friends. Even those family members who are not related by blood but by circumstance. We all love you as a sister and your children as our nieces and nephews. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 Amy: My gosh, your family must be terrified, to have to go thru it again. The " c " word is aweful, I know - it's too bad we always imagine the worst case scenario, you worry yourself sick. Try to keep you & your daughter's spirits up - and you are definitely in my prayers. Keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 Good luck at the doctor's Amy. I am sure that you and your daughter will get through this, just as you have before. You are both stronger than you sometimes think, we all are.
