Senior Member Check-In!
As I reflect on my 7 years this week from my breast cancer diagnosis, I can't help to think about all the lovely ladies that reached out to me on this website to guide me through and give me hope. We lost some of those ladies over the course of the years but I know there are a lot of us senior members out there still thriving! Check in if you read this post, would love to hear how you are doing and help some of the newer members see that there is hope for a brighter future after BC!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Jessica
