One Year of Relying on BCO
Today is the one year anniversary of my diagnosis. I have many things to mourn and many things to celebrate. I am grateful to everyone here for all of the support, kindness and help that you have given me.
The breastcancer.org community has been so important to me. While I have donated to the site before, I have decided that my anniversary date will be my annual donation day. I wanted to urge everyone-if the site is important to you, please support it financially, if you are able.
We may not all see things the same, and we don't all have the same diagnosis, and some of us don't even have any diagnosis at all, but we all have one thing in common...we rely on this web site.
Wishing you all fulfilling and life-affirming moments, days, weeks, months and years.

It is that time again. Though I rarely come to BCO these days, I will never forget how the women and men here got me through. On this my third anniversary, I once again donate. Thank you BCO for all of your support. I could never have come through as well without you.

Thank you, Breastcancer.org, for helping me get through my diagnosis and treatment, and for being there for all of the women and men that face this journey.
On this, the fourth anniversary of my diagnosis, I once again donate and I urge everyone else that can afford to do so to support Breastcancer,org. It is a light in the darkness.

Congratulations on your 4th anniversary! Many thanks you for your comments about this wonderful community, and for helping support BCO!
