16 Years Ago

16 years ago I showed up here newly diagnosed and so very afraid. I am celebrating 16 years now and life is good. I just wanted to again say how grateful I am for this forum and it's members. Without all of you on this journey I would not have had the answers and the support that I needed when I needed them most. Thank you to all of you. And if you are here , newly diagnosed I am thinking of you. Please know there is so much good energy and information here. There is no better place to feel supported.

Much Love to all of you today & Always
