Happy Birthday to me!

Thanks, Christine, for your kind & encouraging words. Even though I'm NED and off treatment, this site still means and lot to me and is a place where we can all go and get information & support, or share our hopes, fears and dreams. I read this quote from a book called After Breast Cancer, by Hester Hill Schnipper, and I thought it was so lovely:

The new cancer friends you make are likely to be in a very special part of your heart. No one will understand what has happened to you like a woman who has also been through it. You will laugh and cry together in a communion that is only possible for soul mates. You will share each other's fears and joys as though they were your own and recognize a bond, forged in fire and pain, that glimmers now with hope.
