Hi pam luv: I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I was hit with terminal cancer 7 years ago - neck cancer. Actually I had three removed simultaneously, left front thigh, right lower lip and neck. My lymph system was also involved, 4 were cancerous, so they removed 32 .

Yes luv, I know exactly how one feels, but my immediate thoughts were not "Oh sheesh' I have had it", but simply ok, now what do we do about it so that I can get back to work..

So in essence I became my own doctor and apparently have successfully 'cured' myself.

Last year they tried for 3 days to find any evidence of cancer, none.

The real secret of my success, and what they don't seem to understand is that I am OIRISH and refuse to let a bit of cancer bother me, I have too many things to do.

She'll make it ok Luv, relax.

Don Jose de La Mancha

p.s. I now have a sexy leer and limp.
