Today my middle child, a son will graduate from college. I am alreday teary eyed--and I am sure I will be crying tears of joy. When he went off to college I was in the hospital recovering from one of my 3 surgeries.

It has been 4 years since I have traveled this cancer journey. I have come a long way baby!!!!

I was diagnosed 3/17/03. I have had chemo/rad., 3 surgeries and 11 hopitalizations.

For all the newbies life can get better.

For all of you still in the battle, my thoughts and prayers are will you all.

Have a great day.

Maureen

    When we look back over our own personal history, we find the present hard to believe. You're probably in a place now that you never thought you would be in. I think you will enjoy the graduation more than most of the people in attendance. Congratulations in so many ways!

    Now I'm all teary-eyed too. Warmest congratulations to your middle son on his graduation and to you for your great survivorship.

    You and I were diagnosed about the same time. During that time, I've seen my two boys grow from 10 and 12 to fourteen and sixteen. I thank God for allowing me these four years -- if nothing else. (Of course I'm planning to live till 90 and bug them for years to come!).
