It's My 5 YEAR CANCERVERSARY !!!!!!
Hi Girls !!!
Well what a difference 5 years makes !
I came to the boards in utter panic starting out on the dcis thread and as the news worsened I finally found my home !
Read my stats not a pretty picture ...but I gave up on stats long ago...This is my story and I am not a statistic !!!
I have met some wonderful women here lost a few along the way.
Special mentions - 1st to Diana you were my hope still are -Yat(sp) help another long time survivor I held onto your words !!!
My FB friends - sorry I can get real postie hope you still love me anyway
Kerry you are one inspiring athlete so very proud of all you have accomplished and love seeing your children grow up(still remember the tree pic )I have won a few words with friends lately jus sayin...
Kim - talking to you at the beginning was so therapeutic and I too have enjoyed watching your son become a man !
Alyson-another sistah from a far off land so very happy to have met you hope your holiday with your grandkids is a blast (think I missed the get together)
Didi- Think we are more FB friends than BC so that's a good thing
Cindy - Have your beautiful dragonfly pic in my REIKI room..
Karen- So happy to have met you and your lovely daughters -your cooking skills totally impress me !
Magdelena(sp)you reached out to me really have to get together !!
Debi- remember you are one strong women I LOVE your spirit keep up the FIGHT !!!
My bestie Linda M you are on the front lines .. just know how much I love you girl !!We are the ladies who lunch !!!Thanks so much for all the preferred rad appts.
If I have left anyone out I did not do it on purpose I have lost some on my FB -Mary - my fitness coach(uh yea about that)going to have to go through it and try to reconnect !
It came to point that coming to the boards was just not healthy for me and so I stopped for awhile right now I am due for recon so have ventured back . I have lost the despair and try to come here giving back ...just like the love and advice I received when I arrived scared out of my mind .
So in closing if you are new to the Stage 3 forum just remember it is only a number I like my anniversary number better !!!!
Love n light
Cheryl
