Re: 6 year Cancerversary!!
Hi Michele, Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on being 6 yrs out. Yeah! That's fantastic and gives the newly dx so much hope.
I know I've said this before...but I'll say it again. When I was 1st dx with Her2...I was in a total panic especially with my doom & gloom onc. He acted like I'd be lucky if I made it a yr. (Seriously.)
Then I got online & started searching. Thank the good Lord for this wonderful board Christine & Joe started...it was a true God send to me. Then I will never forget reading yours & also Audrey's signatures and I finally had some hope!!! You are a true inspriation and I am so thankful that you take the time to post once in a while so others that were in my position see they too can make it. As you said...it is so nice to come here and find out your NOT alone. (Hope you had a wonderful Cancerversary!)
Always in my thoughts & prayers!
Chelee
