Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 596 | Thank you all for your continued encouragement and support through my recurrence. We all hope that the "Big C" will stay away for good. We all deserve that, but unfortunately, that's not always the case as it was for me and and many others. Plus, many of us have to live life with a new normal and lots of times that requires the support of our group. That's one of the many reasons why I love these forums. We are like family and are always there for each other. We are never alone.
