We celebrated my younger daughter's bat mitzvah was just a few weeks after I completed my treatment. When my oncologist said I needed chemo, I cried, because I did't want to have to wear a wig to the party...He said "we're doing this because I want you ere for her wedding." she's 27 now (thoug not married yet) and I'm still here. A victory.<br /><br />congrats on making it to the 4 year mark, and I hope you have many, many more paddles.songbird's crazy worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473854543986991104noreply@blogger.com
