By way of a bump, to add to the topic and in order to introduce myself: I celebrated 15 years of survivorship in March 2006. I'll post the entire story if y'all think it may help others (it has through advocacy and local survivorship programs in the past 15 years, no doubt).
Just found this site and board yesterday and look forward to being part of this community.
Best to all and remember to accentuate the postitive, Kathy M

Kathy,
Welcome and we're glad to have you.
I'm sure your story will be interesting, especially since your now 15+ yrs out. Lets see, I'll be 73, hopefully retired and worry free. I'll take that !!
When you share your story please start your own Post so that complete attention can be given to it.
Again, welcome aboard.
