Nicely said, Mary Jo, and I think it is important to all of us and especially to the newly diagnosed that there ARE many more members of Her2Support who are living and thriving post treatment with no recurrences even among our Stage IIIc gals.

We have lost too many members lately it seems, but this disease does not win all the "battles." To our newcomers I say, "please try to see that we win more than we lose here." Stay and know you will grow to love those who post and become "real" to you and dear to your heart. The pain is bittersweet and the potential for heartache is part and parcel with being a member here on Her2Support. I think you will discover it is worth every tear you may shed to laugh, rejoice, cheer on, and pray fervently with the members here.

I count myself blessed to have known Sheila Rawlings as well as every member who posts here.
