You know, you DON'T really have to explain yourself as to why you haven't posted any videos. I think your fans will kinda understand your tardiness, unless they're complete and utter stonecold hearted bitchasses. Just my opinion though..

Hey butterfly, just found your page. I am an AML survivor. I had less than a 25% chance of making it, but I did; & you will too! I just wanted to let you know that I KNOW EXACTLY what you are going through & if you or any of your subscribers ever need a 'shoulder to cry on', I'm just a click away. I will be praying for you & checking in to your page to see how you are doing. I have a question: did you or anyone you know with aml develop cardiomyopathy as a result of treatment? Thanks

Happy tears because now I know your still alive and that my praying for you and everyone else in you tube land is praying for you is working:) keep puting video's. I'm still praying for you and your family. Keep smiling and don't lose faith. You will get through this.
