[quote=Geri]Hi,
For now, at this point in time, we celebrate our lives being cancer free. To be able to wake up each morning with appreciation of life and to be able to go about our daily activities means so much more after enduring this diagnosis and treatment. I don't know what the future holds, but for now, we are living our lives and not putting anything off.... Geri [/quote]
