Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to write and say to women that are new, there is so much to live for. Today is my 4 year anniversary since diagnosis. I am a survivor/warrior! I have metastatic breast cancer since original diagnosis and I still do weekly treatments. I want to tell you to keep your head up and a smile on your face.
