I want to feel it die and I want to feel your cancer die too. I read your posting yesterday and simply wanted to put my arms out and say were here with you in some way. I hope my intention in someway influences your experience by adding more loving thoughts into the mix as much as possible. Is there anything specific I can do to help? Frank
