    I am not sure exactly WHY, but this entire thread reminded me of an old joke...
    Three Southern Belles were sitting on the veranda discussing their marriages. One says: "My husband bought me a 3 carat diamond ring for my birthday"...To which the woman next to her replied "Isn't that nice"? Woman 2 declared that her husband bought her a week at a health spa. To which the woman again replied, "Isn't that nice"? When asked what her husband had done for her recently, she said her husband had sent her to charm school. "Charm School??? Whatever for"? asked one of the shocked women.
    To which she sweetly replied..."Well, I used to say, I don't give a @#*%$#@%....and now I just say "Isn't that nice"????

    I offer a big "Isn't That Nice" to the entire group of women who were featured in the magazine, and how they chose ( HA!) to beat cancer! Some of it no doubt is in the editing of the articles, and perhaps the women were even encouraged to use specific words to describe their journey.

    What all of us here know: This is the room and the venue to experience the REAL DEAL as far as fighting, winning, and sometimes, sadly, NOT winning this battle. We are the most insightful, inspiring, complex, honest group of women I have ever had the honor to know.
    We can hope that more women ( and men too, of course) find their way to CSN and be part of what is the best of all of us during what is not always the best part of our lives.
