Welcome to OCF, Cindy! Its always great to have another survivor join our online family

You mentioned attending an OCF event in March. Was this in San Antonio, hosted by Elizabeth? If so, shes one of my dearest friends Ive had the pleasure to meet thru OCF, also Beverly and Ed are a couple of the great survivors Ive met there too. Ive attended both the San Antonio and the Houston events as their speaker a few years ago. Every single person Ive met over the past 12 years thru the OCF events have been awesome!!!!

Im sorry to read what you've been thru!!! None of this is easy on any of us. We all just pull ourselves up and do the best we can to get thru some of our hardest days.

You've done HBO! Ive been thru far toooo many HBO dives over several different times!!! I detest going thru HBO with how much of the day it takes, but I love the healing effects it has. While I am laying in that glass tube, I stress myself out thinking of everything I should be doing instead of just laying there and how far behind Im getting from doing the half day HBO.

Im sure you will have lots of different experiences that can help those just starting out. Amazing how much info we all learn after going thru the things we have to eliminate the cancer. Just learning the medical jargon alone was a huge learning curve for me! Oh well, it takes a village...

Have a great day!!!
