There are so many of us who have been touched peripherally and personally that we all have a tale to add. I wanted a positive outlook on this time of my life. Granted personality plays a large part in how we perceive the world about us, but choosing to live, choosing to fight for that right of life is the first step into the future on this side of the veil. Thank you all for your positive feedback and empathy!...Paula

Thank you for sharing this very intimate portrait of an earth-shattering time in your life. How wonderful that you beat the odds, and had a supportive and loving family to help you. I wish you many more years of health, happiness and WRITING. Take care of yourself....we need fighters like you in our lives. Valerie

Paula, as I read your detailed experiences about your battle with Cancer, I could relate on every turn. I went through those same types of turmoil with my husband when he had stage IV liver Cancer. Thanks for sharing this story, and how wonderful it is that you are here, and able to write about it! I always look forward to your work. Elizabeth
