Oh Jess, I have never felt so bad as when I read this heartbreaking news.
You have been such a fighter in the face of so many tribulations.
Your strength has been an inspiration to me to stand straighter and fight harder for myself.

Best wishes for a positive intervention.
Grab all the joys from life there may be,

Sending virtual hugs and real prayers to you. My heart is breaking for you...you have managed to be strong and courageous and fight, at the same time be a loving mother to a newborn and now Toddler. Whatever comes in the next few days, please imagine God's loving arms around you ,saying "my grace is sufficient, my power is made perfect in weakness."

Oh Jess I am devastated to hear this news. I will be praying for you. I hope the radiation is successful and alleviates your pain, and you get into a trial soon. You are a wonderful Mommy to Lilli and always will be.

OMG jess, i am so sorry to hear this and will be praying for you, I logged on today just to see about you and how the trial was going and if all was moving like you had hoped, but not to read this. I am so sorry you are having to go thru this and don't you ever forget what a wonderful mother you have been to your daughter. Hopefully the radiation will work wonders.
