Please add me to the list of long time survivors. I was diagnosed in January, 1999. A doctor gave me 6 months to live in January, 2000, but I decided that was not going to happen to me. Life since my diagnosis has not always been easy, but I am a pretty strong woman who advocates for myself. I don't always do everything the way the docs want me to do them, but I think I made the right choices most of the time, because I am still here. I am also thankful to God for helping me.
