I made it!!!
I know that I haven't been posting on here for a long time, but I have been addicted to Farmville and it really takes my mind off things.
When I was diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago, I really, really didn't think that I would make it to 50 years old, but tomorrow is MY 50TH BIRTHDAY!!! People say to me, " Does it bother you to be getting older? I always say that I am happy to still be here!! It's been a hard long journey, but I made it! I saw my daughter graduate and now this year my son will graduate. I am so so happy to be here!!!!!!!

congratulations on so many milestones! I know how you feel about seeing your kids through school-such a relief. My dau. graduated this year-I remember thinking when diagnosed, "Will I see her graduate?"
Happy 50th! As I read somewhere, "Be thankful to grow old, it is a privilege denied to many..."
Best,
