The ACS is currently running TV ads about its "Birthdays" campaign...

In case anyone hasn't yet seen/heard it...

There are MORE THAN ELEVEN MILLION - 11,000,000 + !!! - cancer survivors alive today within the USA.

And we are among them. Good company, I'll say.

Kind regards, Susan

    special !!!
    Yes indeed ... we ARE special. We are members of a club no one wants to join ... but once we discovered this wonderful website we have received a gift of "family." We are living all over the place ... and yet we have been brought together to share our knowledge, support and love with others.

    We are special ... and this IS a very special place.

    hugs to everyone ...
