I think I've developed a new perspective on life and what I want from it. In that way, I am grateful for the experience. I hope you and your daughter are doing well with coming to terms with the diagnosis. Sometimes it feels like old hat but whenever things go wrong or seem problematic, I feel as if I need to come to terms with it all over again (although the period is shorter each time it reoccurs). Keep up the cautious optimism! I hope the RTX does the trick!
