Today I had my first chemo. Three of my girlfriends gave me a ring this morning engraved with the most beautiful passage. It reads, "what cancer cannot do...steal eternal life...conquer the spirit...suppress memories...kill friendships...cripple love...corrode faith...shatter hope...destroy peace...silence courage...invade the soul". It is the most touching gift I have ever received from a friend and I am grateful to be blessed with the friendship of these fantastic women. I hope that all of you have a Pam, Amy and Jami in you lives.

    How touching!
    Boy, I'll bet you boo hoo'd!

    You sound like you have amazing friends. They'll be such a positive influence for you. I was so overwhelmed at how the people at my office got a schedule together and took turns cooking meals during my Chemo...Wow!

    God, family and friends are priceless!


    Blessings and hugs to you,
