Celeste is back
Just saying hello to anyone who remembers me from a couple years ago! I used to be an active member here, but have not checked in for a long time. I finished treatment for HER2+ in 2009 at age 32 when my son was 6 years old. I went back to college, spent a month studying in South America, started a new career in nonprofit fundraising, and life is busy and promising again. I've thought about you all often, and am happy to be joining the conversations again.
Love, Celeste
