Marejo,

Heartfelt congratulations on your 3 year cancerversary.

I think that a big part of what others DON'T "GET" is that we now celebrate life more than before BC, and probably more than those who have not had a similar experience. BC has affected my life more than most anything else---both positively and negatively.

Our cancerversaries are the celebration of another year of life---a life that had been threatened---but we have survived!

So lets all continue to celebrate with one another, and within ourselves. And Marejo, you are an inspiration to us all to do just that.

Here's to many more years of NED! Have a wonderful day Marejo!
