It has been quite a few months since visiting this board. I don't know what made me look this AM but I am so glad I did. I stopped coming here when I realized my soon to be ex-spouse and inlaws were monitoring this board planning to use everything I said against me. Well, now my attitude is, "GO AHEAD!" After battling this wretched disease and so far coming out the victor, I don't care what anyone thinks. I have nothing to hide. Life is quite simply too short. So much has been taken away from me that I refuse to allow those people to take this away from me too.

I passed my one year cancer free date in September. Hard to believe. Cancer. Divorce and now dating. Wow!! I didn't think I would find anyone to accept me for me, new body and new appendages, but I have. Wow!! Life is wonderful.

    Mjay,

    Congrats on remaining NED!!!!

    Welcome back, I have been thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. You are a strong gal, to go through all this and a divorce too. This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with.

    I am almost 2 1/2 yrs. cancer free, I will be on 12/26. My cat scan last week was all clear. Yippppeee.

    ps how is the dating going.

    Hi MJay,
    I'm glad that you're back and doing so well, moving on with your life. You are right. Life is too short to allow someone else to dictate what you do. Stay strong!
