Hi everyone!

I have not been on the message boards in months. I feel bad about that. I was on the boards for literally hours everyday during treatment and it's sort of like I've abandoned the boards now that I am better and out of the house often. I think a part of me felt like being on the boards would stir up the terrible memories of my cancer treatment. But it's important for all of us to share not only the pain of cancer but the joy of recovery! I still have a long road ahead of me but the worst is behind me. I remember the day I was diagnosed like it was yesterday and to finally make it to this point is a blessing from God. My life feels like it belongs to me again! The cancer took a lot from me but I still have my joy and I am so happy to see many other ladies recovering well from treatment/surgeries too! We are all awesome--every single one of us--and if we can get through cancer, I think we can get through anything else life throws at us. I am praying for all of you ladies; praying you have quick recoveries and successful treatments. 2 years ago I was a 27 year old diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic cancer; things were looking really bleak. But there's a light at the end of the tunnel and I hope I am proof of that. Take care and I wish you all joy, happiness and peace (and a mani-pedi too--you deserve it!).

    Congratulations Mary, coming out the other side is like nothing else. This is a statement I wrote on April 8th, 2012 after my craniotomy in Mar. 2012. "the other thing I learned from the craniotomy. Cancer WILL NEVER TAKE MY PEACE AND CONTENTMENT AGAIN----EVER. Whatever may happen in this life, I will not EVER give it that power AGAIN.  It robbed us, as a thief, of 3 years of our lives. Cancer may try to be a thief again. I may ultimately feel cancers hatred. It may kill me, but it will never be let into my soul and spirit again.".
