Zahalene here. Hi everyone. Haven't been around much lately, but wanted to let my fellow sisters and brothers in the BC walk know that as of July 3, I am OFFICIALLY a 25 year survivor.
Don't EVER say NEVER.
I am 63 years old (38 when first diagnosed), with a man who loves me in spite of my 'breastless' condition, and living life every day.
I hope and pray the same for every one of you.
God bless us all.

I have a lot of living to do and by goodness I am going to do it... Thanks again for the confidence booster.. Diane
