I'm doing ok. Sorry that I've been AWOL, but work has been very hectic and I'm also trying to finish my degree. I still have 2 more TCH treatments left though, so I'm just trying to do my best with everything!

Duga!
Hi from me as well. Hope you will be able to meet some fellow male BC survivors on the site info I sent you. A friends father is a survivor and I will see if he'd like to correspond.
Hang in there ...the hardest part is almost behind you and we are right alongside of you cheering you on!
Hugs,Marcia

Hi guys, I just have a brief moment at work at the moment and wanted to just say hello.
I have my 5th tx tomorrow, and I'm really dreading it because I know how sick I'll be for the next 10 days! YUCK!
But, whatya gonna do? Give up? Oh hell no!
Harrie, I'm going for my BSBA. I have about 10 classes to go before I graduate, and then I plan on going for my masters in Business Management. I've been in BM since I was 19, but today if I want to make a change in the future, and I think that I do because of things going on in the world around us, a person get even hardly get a phone call back without that piece of paper hanging on your wall. It seems they don't care how long you have been in business and how succesful you've been, they want to see that you went to school like they did and played the same game.
Sooooooo, I'm playing da game!
I'll try to post again asap, so for now, prayers and hugs to everyone!
