My wife and I would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to your family.  My wife, Deborah sue was diagnosed with Breast cancer on her 50th birthday Dec. 2002, in Aug 2003 she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma on her eyelid.  She was treated with a lumpectomy for both and was due to be in remission for BC Mar of this year.  On thanksgiving of this year she collapsed and was rushed to the hospital which found a large pleural affusion in her chest.

Test results confirmed metastatic malignant melanom throughout her chest and lungs.  It has been a roller coaster ride ever since.  I can’t begin to tell you how blessed we are.  We have the same good days and bad days resulting from Biochemo therapy that many others experience as well.  Although her prognosis is grim, her spirit remains strong and our faith affords us the gift of clinging to each small victory with hope as opposed to dwelling on the overall crisis.  My wife, as is yours; is an inspiration to all who come in contact with her. She is also an example of the fragile nature of our lives.  In the end all that really matters is our faith, friends and families.  God bless you and your family we will be praying for you.  John Crouch
