sometimes

when i read posts on this site, I get such a rush of positive emotion-you know the kind that makes you feel like your chest could burst? The level of support and love given and received here everyday is beyond words. And that is on top of the knowledge we share. Just in the last week I have seen information on several new compounds in real trials that I'd never heard of and I look a lot. It is what can keep me going in those low times.

I just had to share that. You all mean so much to me. Thank you.

Know that you mean so much to all of us as well and I couldn't agree with you more about the value of this incredible forum and it's members. We gain so much from this site that we wouldn't otherwise. Thank you to all of you who keep us so well up to date on the latest and to Joe and Christine for making this all possible.

Joy,

I feel exactly the same way! I'm new here, but there is a true connection between the women on this forum, unlike any I've seen. It's all about unconditional support and true concern for another human being, whether that person is your next door neighbor or a stranger on the other side of the world.
This is the last thing i do before I go to bed. I sit and I read posts and articles. Some make me laugh, some give me hope and new ideas, some make me cry when maybe I need to, but won't allow myself. I'm grateful to have found this site and all who make it what it is.
