Snowflake Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Cathy, You always have my positive thoughts, "happy hippie vibes", intense good wishes and the like. I hope you have an empty head and that the spine mets are treatable and gone in no time and that your life and journey are gentle and softened with peace and love.

ginnyde Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Cathy, We all know that you are a fighter and this is just another round. I bet the zapping takes care of those mets just fine and that the MRI will find nothing in that head and you will become a member of the EH Club. This is an exclusive club of amazing members. I am sure getting this news with all you have been through was very frightening. But we are all behind your fight and sending good thoughts and prayers.
