After being on this board for quite some time now I've noticed that when some women complete their treatments they no longer seem to need the support from this webiste and just move on. Others stay for support no matter what. It's very difficult when we correspond with each other and all of a sudden we hear nothing from someone. Sometimes it's just that the indiivdual has moved on and other times it's just that they don't have the strength to post. I know that I keep in personal contact with a few women from the board here as do others. I think all we can do in situations like this is to hope that someone on the board is in contact with a member in question or has a way to contact a family member. We must remember not to be too pushy as sometimes when someone is having a particualr difficult time they just want to be left alone for a while. We must thread lightly here and sort of just ride things out.
