And I've been through chemo and honestly do not believe that I could endure it again. But, then I see one of my old co-workers who has been fighting cancer for 7 years and just barely winning again and again and am amazed at her sheer grit. It's a very individual thing. Some of us can suffer through it and hope to see light at the end of the tunnel and some of us more pragmatic ones just put our hands up and say "enough."Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333912009540131399.post-25807996522254108882015-01-06T21:53:56.723-08:002015-01-06T21:53:56.723-08:00I'm so sorry, Deb.
