KUDOS to JOE!

Joe,
I have to say this.... this is the most organized effective and informative site/message board on the internet. NOt to mention user friendly as well as all of the wonderful sisters and brothers that post on it. You have made this a labor of love and used your talents to support and help everyone here. I just "joined" in january but I can not tell you how I sing the praises of the board and the people on it. You have allowed us to learn through others experience, and you know what they say... experience is the best teacher. THANK YOU
Your .signature says it all!
Proud webmaster to the internet's most informed, educated, compassionate and caring group of breast cancer survivors...

I agree. I just joined in early March, but I have already found a wealth of information, met some wonderful women and been taken under wing by one of your totally wonderful members with similar stats to mine. It's a godsend for all of us. Bless you for your labor of love!

Joe, I so agree with what has been said. I have referred several breast cancer patients to this site whether they are Her2 + or not as it is a great place to start using the internet for information and support. And they have all repeatedly thanked me for telling them about the site. Thank you so much for your efforts.

Thank you for this amazing site. My only complaint is there is no spell check. I have got to be the world's worst speller. You have earned your place in heaven. Luv Karen
