SURVIVOR!

Uploaded: January 10, 2006 07:40:33

Description

After being diagnosed with breast cancer on July 8, 2005, my life was turned upside-down. It's been a long haul, but the surgeries, the chemotherapy and the radiation treatments are all behind me as of today! I can finally say that I am cancer-free and that I am a SURVIVOR!

MANY THANKS to all of you wonderful people ~ I've been overwhelmed by all of the support, the emails, the well-wishes and the prayers...and I've made some amazing friendships along the way. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH ~ words just don't express my gratitude. You folks are the greatest!

That's the best news I've heard in a long time!!! I knew that with all the support and your wonderful positive attitude, this disease didn't stand a chance of winning because you are a SURVIVOR!!!!

Okay...The way I interpret your photo - that's you holding up your sign and me in the background cheering for you...and that's where I will always be!
