It always does our hearts good to hear from long term survivors.
17 years is wonderful (congratulations) and gives comfort and hope to those who are going through treatment now. Also encouraging for those of us worried about a recurrence. I am sure many here would love to hear your story and a good start would be to put a brief description in your signature.
Go to My Stuff, Profile and when you scroll down to the bottom you will see signature. What you add there it will come up with every post.
I am looking forward to hearing more from you.
