Message for the long time surviviors...

Thanksgiving had me thinking of the many things I'm thankful for. One thing I would like to share here is how very thankful I am for the women like "Christine, Audrey, Patty Z, Michele U, Tricia K, Shelia, Kim in CA, StephN, Irene, MaryAnn" and the list goes on. (There's many more!)

I personally appreciate you long time survivors sticking around and posting. I think its so important for the newly DX and the women like myself that aren't that far out to see that life can, & does go on. You all play such an important part in our lives rather you know it or not.

There are so many women that go through their trt & they disappear from the boards and I *do* understand that, and can totally respect it. But thanks to all of you that choose to stay...it means alot to me...& I'm sure the other women feel the same way. I know I appreciate it more then you could possible know. I seriously was without hope when I was DX...my cancer center was so negative. They made me feel like since I was her2/neu I didn't stand a chance. Thank God I found this board & all the wonderful women on here. But I felt the need to give the long time her2 survivors a very special thank you. Thanks for sticking around...I really appreciate it.

Chelee
