What I really appreciate about this site is the variety of contributions, information, and experiences. So much so that no matter what, it is easy to fit in. Even the "rah-rah" stuff has its place!
On my last day of herceptin, I kinda wanted to go out to dinner and celebrate, but my husband had "plans". Dont get me wrong, he is generally a good supportive guy, but he just had his pre-arranged plans. So I was feeling a bit down....anticlimatic kind of feeling and Jean was nice enough to open a thread saying it was my day of completion for herceptin. I was SO surpised to see the response!!! I can't tell you how good it made me feel. I don't usually get a lot of responses to my posts, and I didn't really think there were many who even recongnized me at this site except for a few. BUT to see so many come out from around who knows where and give ME that rah-rah cheer of completion, totally made my day!!!
So the bottom line is no matter if you share a valuable medical information or just tell someone that you are happy for them, you just never know, it may touch a soul and mostly likely because it makes us feel that we are not alone.
