Thank you very much, Madame. I do have a wonderful support system in my family and my friends. One of the things I am most proud of is summer of 2003 I was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma, a form of bone/cartlidge cancer. They removed it and a piece of my liver along with doing some plastic surgery on my leg to close up the wound from the break all within two days.
One month later I was walking without my cane and danced at my own wedding.
To be honest, it was much harder on my family and friends than it was on me. After all, I got the good painkillers!
I have also been cancer free since the removal and did not have to have chemo or radiation or anything. I truly do feel blessed.
My prayers also go out for your son for a speedy recovery. It's not easy to go through.
