Joe, Brian is correct. This is an extraordinary group of people who truly care about one another, even though we may never meet, or even speak on the phone. You have just been adopted into this family. No matter where you go, take your computer and you will have a lifeline to people who will understand every step of your treatment and how you are feeling at any given moment. We have all been there. Brian is also correct about life being sweet. The treatment you are about to have is not fun at all, but taken in perspective, is just a small moment in your overall lifetime, and the fact there are so many of us who survived it, means that you can be sure you will too.
