THANK YOU

Thank YOU for your kind and positive feedback!!

Yes, thank you Mods!  I've been really impressed with the improvements in moderation and the new rules.

I agree with Apple .. this should be the longest thread on this site!

I have always loved BCO and I'm forever grateful for the information, support and friends I've made over the years.

I don't think I could have gotten through my diagnosis, treatment and moving on without the support of this site.

Well done BCO!

hugs,

Bren

I really don't know what my life would be like without this site.  It's my lifeline in the stage IV cancer world and where I get most of my support.  It's a dark and scary world with brain mets and this site helps give me light....I don't pay attention to any of the other stuff that seems to go on here...I'm just here for the love and support :>

Reading about the experiences of so many women on BC.org really helped me pose meaningful questions to my doctors about my own treatment.  While I hear what the doctors' have to say, I feel more secure if their information is backed up by the individual stories I have read here.  Thanks for creating a website that connects and supports so many.

Add my THANKS!!!!

Thank you so much.

Thank you, don't know how I would have made it this far without the wonderful people I have met through this site, not to mention all the wonderfully helpful information.

Well said, ruthbru!  We are so lucky to have BCO!  I often think of how isolated women with breast cancer must have felt before the Internet, and it makes me so sad for them.  But SO grateful for BCO! Thank you for keeping me connected to others who not only understand but also have such wonderful advice and information.

I think it would be nice if we all went and said what we have said on this thread over here.  Unfortunately, BCO is taking a beating because some don't like the people that post on one of the threads I started.

BCO is an organization that has worked very hard to be a haven for women and men looking for BC-related support and information. I am very thankful for that, and for having the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people here. The moderators continue to work hard to implement reforms and things have improved, so kudos to them, too. 

Thank you to BCO (the organization and the wonderful women who gather in this virtual space) for being such a great source of advice and support. I've learned a lot here, laughed a lot here, made amazing friends here, and found comfort in grief here.

Have to add my thanks also. When I was first diagnosed my BS sent me here to learn and read so that I could come back well informed to talk about my options. It has been a life line for me in the beginning with all of the information, guidelines as well as reading about personal experiences from the discussion boards. I had the pleasure of having a consult with Dr. Weiss during my early dx days and thanked her personally for this site, now would like to extend that thanks to all of the staff at BCO. What a fabulous job and service you have provided for all of us. Thanks so very much

I add my thanks for this site and my deep gratitude and admiration for the many women who have so generously shared their stories, their experiences, their emotions and their friendship with me and so many others. I am not a "joiner" and would never have been able to join a support group IRL. Hee, I can ask questions and find answers and learn new questions I never thought to ask. And now that I have a recurrence, the support and love I find here buoys me up to get through the next stage of treatment.



Thank you, Mods, for wading in and beefing up moderation. Life has improved tremendously here of late, and I expect it will get even better with the application of the new rule on nicks.



Thank you, all, for being here. It is so good to be among sistahs who jut "get it."

I was so happy to see this thread! 

I'd like to join my BCO sisters in thanking everyone associated with Breastcancer.org.  What you've provided for us here, free of charge, is truly priceless.  The value of the educational sections of the website is obvious.  I needed more than that.  I'm like others here who did not have a local support group, or at least did not have one that was convenient.  The BCO discussion boards are better than a support group anyway, for all the reasons mentioned in the posts here. 

I have special admiration for the discussion board moderators, who have shown tremendous patience and understanding in their handling of some of the issues encountered here.  Many thanks to you!
