A good friend of mine, a six year bc survivor, just put together her website ThereIsLifeAfterBreastCancer (http://thereislifeafterbreastcancer.com/boobs/Welcome.html)
It is a collection of survivor stories, photos and hope. Quite a diverse and interesting bunch of contributors including a male ex-marine. Some NED, some not, all incredible. She desperately wanted messages of hope when she was diagnosed, and as we know, these are hard to find. She also has a good sense of humor and she makes me laugh whenever I talk to her :)
Of course she talked me into turning in my own story. It took me 6 months to write it, all of one page or so. But the process was quite liberating in more ways than one. It was a great way to put down all the emotions.
I hope some of you will check out the site and maybe even contribute your own inspiring story. I know all of you have them!
Kind Regards,
Margerie
