BEST URDU POETRY WALPAPERS QUOTES IMAGES

Last night, Dad started another round of chemo. Oh how I hate these weeks. And I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual for Dad.  But, it's all part of our process and our fight.

And statistically, 25% of people diagnosed with the disease live past 2 years.  Those statistics leave me with such mixed emotions.
