Lucky number 8.
Hi Ladies.
It's eight years for me!!! I can't express how grateful I am to the ladies on these boards. Coming on here was so comforting in the early days when I had to move away from home and DH for my surgeries and treatment.
I didn't have a clue of how to make it through those 8 months.
I found a sisterhood here who soothed my fears and comforted me always even when I went to the " dark side"
Thank you, I love you all!
For my precious oldsters, my heart is filled with joy when I read your posts and are doing so well. I have learned that although we are a tough bunch we have moved on to a wondrous place of laughs, loves and specatacular gratitudes.
For the newbies. I wish I could wipe the fears and anxieties away you have now. It is truly a journey that no one wants to go on, but take heart you will get through this time and you will too join us as an " Oldster".
Be Gentler with yourselves, time will pass and things will get better.
I have been transformed by BC and feel honored and blessed to be here today LIVING LARGE EVERDAY.
Linda

Congrats on your 8th anniversary Linda!!!! Today is my 8th anniversary. It is always good to see how the "oldster" crew is doing. I come back to this site on my anniversary date to give others some hope. I promised myself that I would post every year afterwards. In the beginning, this forum was my LIFE LINE. I'm sure that there are plenty more of us stage 3ers out there kickin.....but as time goes on life just gets in the way.
Good luck to the newly dx, there really is life after cancer. I really need to submit a new pic...ha ha.
