Hello Nancy
So very nice to hear from you. We sure have missed you in chat but
glad you are enjoying the pool and resting. Thanks for sharing your
update. Congratulations on the negative biopsy. That must take a
load off your shoulders. Maybe they won't bother you as much now.
LOL Good luck with the rest of your doctor appointments and please
let us know how things are going.
Marilyn
