Re: [IP] PRAYER REQUEST FOR CANCER BLOCKAGES
Have you seen anyone else about surgery? Not sure I would just write that
option off just because someone tells me to. How long ago since your late
husband had chemo? There are many options available over the past few years
that were not around just a few short years ago. Everyone is different, and
I am sure you have thought of all of this, but it may be worth exploring.
