People tell me that all the time when they find out I have prostate cancer (Oh, at least if you have cancer - that's a good one to have") HUH??? ... it makes me want to slap them (but I realize people don't know what to say) Anyway I heard back - she appreciates the prayers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
