Thank you to all
Hello everyone,
In October last year I was diagnosed with stage IV Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Long story but here I am a year later. Even if I was just lurking, reading all of your words of support, wisdom, and encouragement has been inspiring and comforting. I have been able to use your knowledge and expertise when working with my health care team. Believe me, I have copied many an article from the research you all have provided. Thank you again. I hope that I may provide the same in the future.
Take care,
Jackie
