Happy Birthday from Her2

I have a birthday coming up tomorrow. I just got a Happy Birthday email from HER2. It has been a very long time since I have been on here. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in 2007. It is a long story told somewhere in the archives but I may not have been stage 4. I have been NED since later in 2007. At that time this forum was a lifeline. I made and lost friends here. I still stay in touch with some of them. I went to Denver as a volunteer one year (2008, I think) and met Joe and Christina. They were wonderful people. This was before Facebook and social media and I don't know how I would have managed without the wonderful people here. I haved moved forward and my life went back to normal eventually. I just wanted to touch base and say again what a special place this is.
