You are absolutely amazing, Dizz!!! I LOVE seeing your great updates about how well you are doing after rads. You definitely are a person to emulate to patients just starting out. You are dealing with a million things of your own yet you go above and beyond to help newer members who are just starting out and the many who are going thru a scare and are overly worried which as we all know is a horrible way to feel. Thank you for your dedication Dizz!!! Its commendable especially when I know you just recently finished rads. I sure wasnt doing anywhere close to how you are until I was a good 6 - 8 weeks post rads. Keep up the good work on getting yourself better first, you are so very important to so many who are close to you at home. We will always have new members coming to our forum feeling terrified, alone and not knowing which way to turn. Your help is giving them a bright light at the end of the tunnel to guide them towards whatever path they need to take.

You're awesome!!! Thank you very much smile
