Hi Donna
I have never come to this site looking for reassurance that I am going to
survive this crappy disease. The deaths sadden me and hurt me but I
am never shocked. There are two realities for me: one is that many
women die from breast cancer and the other is that many people
survive breast cancer.
After the losses that we suffered this past year, I am sure there
are members who need to see and hear about all of us who have not
recurred.... this is a very good idea for a thread, especially the timing.
I was dx. in August, 2005. So I am very, very close to 3 YEARS NED.
I too will have to change my signature by adding a year and another
exclamation mark.
Thanks for starting this thread Donna - great idea.
