It was nice to see (and hear from) a couple of real board "old timers" again, glad you are still around and well. I can tell you that for all the money and effort that I have put into OCF over the last 4 years, it pales in comparison to what I have received in return from all of you. You have allowed me into your lives, sharing both the good and bad, given me a purposeful life when I was searching for meaning, and graced me with your friendships, even though distances may prevent us from ever meeting face to face. I would never have expected my life to have such a sense of purpose and such rich rewards. All of you make that possible for me, and I wish to thank all who have participated in the emotional riches that my life now has as a result.

You have helped so many people through OCF and will continue through this board for years to come. I wish that every person that is striken with cancer could have a place like this to come to for answers and support. It can really make a difference when you feel you are the only one going through it, and then you find others who are on the same journey with you, many who have been there and made it, and still others who have lost the battle to cancer but continue to win the war through their caregivers ongoing fight. We could never thank you enough for all you have done, you are amazing!

This site and its members calmed me down through some unhappy days. I'm nearing the end of radiation (aka Phase II of III), and wouldn't be in such good spirits without everyone here.
I will send Mr. Pellico a thank you note.
Sincerely,
Sabrina
