I want you to know I am thinking of you both. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on April 1st. My life has been overrun with doctors' appointments, surgery and now radiation. I can truly empathize and echo your sentiment. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and ask that grace continues to be your companion. I believe in your strength and know you'll get through it as that is the only thing to do.
