Juanita, I was touched by your post and wanted to share mine as well.

I just recently participated in the Race for the Cure in Waco, Texas. My goal was to run the entire course (which I did). This may sound silly, but I told myself if I could run that race while going through chemo, I could beat the cancer. I needed something to give me hope. I sat there among the survivors with tears in my eyes and wondered how many years I would be able to participate.

I am so happy that I found this site, because I needed to hear some positive things from people with cancer. The doctors have all been so negative, because I have stage IV breast cancer. I now feel better about my outlook and know that I will sit among the survivors for many years to come.
