A little weathered, breathless, and crazy but enjoying live. I want to remind everyone that statistics can't predict how you will fair with a lung cancer diagnosis. I will forever be grateful to this site, Katie B, Rick B, Connie B and its members for giving me the hope I needed in the last 5 years. No words can really express my appreciation. Keep hope in your heart, Wendy Quote
