Congrats
Hi Lexi,
Congratulations on reaching this happy milestone! You were one of the first I spoke with when I first posted after dx. I remember how important it was for me to read your words of encouragement and to gain strength and courage from them. Together we are stronger and smarter and that is what this site is all about! I have really appreciated all my loving, giving sisters here and I hope to join you as an encouraging voice to others newly dxd someday. I'm only 5 months post dx and fighting this fight but I'm hanging in there and I WILL reach the 4 year mark and beyond with all of you!!
Love, Leslie
