Re: Things you didn't know about me!

If I have a yin/yang best bud, it would be Duga. We have almost identical histories with our bc....even down to carrying the BRCA gene, DCIS, mastectomies, tamox, oncotype, you name it....BUT the BIG difference is that he is probably one of the BIGGEST people at this site and I am prob one of the smallest!!!!
But I do love that big guy and I have so much respect for him.
By the way, DON'T ANY OF YOU OUT THERE BELIEVE FOR ONE MIN THAT HE CAN'T READ OR WRITE VERY WELL! He writes very VERY well...articulately, discriptively, informatively, and with an amazingly honest heart that shines through. I've seen it with my own eyes!!
