My heart and soul are with you! On Tuesday my daughter underwent surgery after her cancer returned. She is currently stable but has many months of recovery and, as always, the outcome is to be determined. It's so hard not to grow weary because the whole process seems never-ending and agonizing. I am trying to telepathically send you hugs and comfort. Please keep us updated. DU people genuinely care for their own.
