I'm 50 years old .When I was growing up my parents were considered baby boomers.In high school we were labeled the "me generation",later on labeled "generation x" I fit more in that category.Now I'm thrown in the baby boomer generation..lol..so what is it.Anyhow I certainly hope my treatment worked.Nobody would want to go through what you guys are going through or have gone through.I really feel for you guys,you are strong individuals,I tip my hat to you.
