    Ducky, how kind you are caring so much about all the younger sisters on these boards, I agree, but as we all know,  the big 'C' at any age is a bitch....

    Sending loving good wishes and season's greetings to all sisters out there.

    Good.....bad no matter when, but those young ones have so much more to deal with at that she.....With 6 kids, now grown...44 to 56, I clearly remember how youth it was healthy, let alone dealing with chemo, rads. etc....so hard.
