Hey @Sister I appreciate your suggestions. I have asked family members to pass on the news as I couldn't possibly tell all my cousins. A couple have rang me which was good, except I just felt like I was repeating myself and it was exactly what you said about "well meaning phone calls". I am truly sorry you missed summer. I appreciate your advice about chemo and I am glad you passed it on. I am a bit inclined (like most women) to think "oh it's not worth making a fuss over". To think you suffered over an entire weekend is just awful and shouldn't happen to anyone. I will be thinking of you on the 21st.
