You are an amazing person and what you provide us with goes far beyond the call of duty. This site seems to be my lifeline through cancer and has helped me more than any counselling has through the last 15 months. When I cannot get on to the site I panic, I shouldn't but I do. With all of the work you both do to provide this service to us all, it is easy to forget that you have a life after Her2support. The time and love you gather to provide this support is exceptional. I am an Her2support addict and like AndiBB, I have decided to turn down help!! LOL! Thanks for your unprecedented devotion to us all. I remember the first time the site was hyjacked, my heart sunk, I panicked into a frenzy. Oh, I thought: I have the phone number so I can call to leave a message that something was foul. Expecting an answering machine and calling from the east coast, I was taken aback when Christine answered, she had no idea of what was happening. How would she? It WAS 5 a.m. California time. That was when I knew that this devotion to the site was as great as the need for me to be here. I apologized for interuption in her sleep and embarrassed I wished her well and waited for the problem to get fixed. Maintaining the site IS a full time job in itself and balancing that and life....well that has to be a challenge. A challenge that you have beat. Thanks again for the love and support both of you provide, your efforts are well appreciated here in 'Lil Rhody as well as the ENTIRE WORLD!!! Indebited to this site>>Believe51
