2 years today
Today's the day, two years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and shortly thereafter I found you all. It's been one year now that I've been off treatment and living NED. Two years ago I really could not have imagined how much better my life would be in two years! It's better than ever, so many blessings, true friends, pursuing my dreams, and I share this celebration with you all because we really are all in this together...never has that been more clear to me than it is now.
Thank you Christine and Joe for your relentless devotion to this community, thank you survivors for sharing your wisdom, hopes and fears, and thank you newcomers for finding this site, opening up, sharing your questions, anger, pain and frustrations, as well as your success stories. We are an army of men and women, and our victories are growing and gaining more power every day.
I love you folks, Celeste
