I've been a long-time poster and mod on forums/message boards for other topics but never joined one for cancer patients/survivors/family, probably because I had been cancer-free for a number of years. Or whatever dumb reason it was. crazy

Now that my doctors have told me my next-to-latest cancer is "incurable", I've been thinking about this experience a lot more and I wanted to hang out with some people who have shared many of the same experiences.

So, "Hi there!" to all and thanks to all for making this site the great site that it is. smile
