Re: Daughtersofmoms withBREASTCANCER I'm sorry to have to join this club...

Hi Angie

I am sorry as well that you are in this group. You
are completely right we need to join together and
fight for our mothers. Every time I read an email
about someone in my same situation I cannot hold back
the tears and my heart goes out to every daughter out
there that is going through this. I find it hard
talking to people about what is happening because
unless you are going through the same it is extremely
hard to understand our fears, sorrows and anguish.
Thursday we will be getting the results of my mothers
last Pet Scan please pray for us.
Be stong and have faith.
