        Yet another reassurance.  I've had chest xrays every year since 2000, and this is the first time anything has shown up, so I'm new at this.  I thought I was in the clear.  I'd come to see my trips to MDA as relaxing – a time would I could sit in a peaceful waiting area with a latte and read a book or catch up on work.  Not at all feeling so peaceful right now.

          Thank you.  That is the most reassuring thing anyone, here or in my personal life has said to me.  You taking the time to write that brought me tears of relief as I wait by the phone this morning.  I know we ALL have personal lives that make us feel like we just can't handle cancer.  I'm panicked because I'm a single mom of two young children, and the primary care and financial provider.
