Hello everyone!

[mmoons]

Hi friends-

I have become more of a lurker than a poster these days, mostly due to the fact that it is just me and the children now so I have precious little time on the computer. I have been doing so well that all my sisters went home. :)

I wanted to send out a big virtual hug to all of you and tell you that I wish I could touch each of you the way you have me over the past several months. I pray daily for each of you. I cry when I read posts of struggles and I am filled with joy when I read your good news. I am glad I found you and am so very grateful to have you all in my life!

My double mastectomy (simple on the left and mod rad on the right) was 1 month ago today. I am doing great. My kids are doing great. I am so blessed!

So good to hear from you, Maureen. A very happy to note that you are doing great!

I echo your sentiments - I feel the same way about having found this family. I feel blessed.

My prayers for you and your children. May God bless you with speedy recovery and NED status for ever!

hugs,
shobha

Maureen, glad you are feeling well enough that the troops could leave. Remember that you always have us gals for support if you need it. I hope things continue on a good note for you. Enjoy spending time with your kids. They grow up too quick!

Thanks for sharing such great news, Maureen! I'm sure that you miss having your sisters around, but it's nice having your own place back to yourself, too. I'm glad you're doing so well!

Maureen,

It is nice to hear from you, I remember how busy I was with my two children when I was young.

Nice to hear you are healing up and it sounds like you are doing well.

It was also fun to read the term "lurking" as I have two friends I remain close with and that was our terminology in the 70s if we were going to go somewhere together. It brought back some wonderful memories for me.

Maureen,

So happy to hear that you are doing so well. How wonderful that your sisters were able to stay and help out when you needed them. Keep the good news coming!

Maureen,
Thank you for updating us on your great progress.
I am glad that you are doing well again and back in charge (having your sisters leave had to be difficult)
Now, enjoy your summer with the kids.

Sending you big healing hugs.
