hi everyone.
I have been posting for a while, but haven't really "formally" introduced myself to the board.I have added a picture of myself and my sister. (I am the one in the striped shirt, she with the tye dye.) If any of you have read my page you know that my sister has stage IV cc. She was diagnosed in March, 2009. I have been reading the boards since about June and posting for the last couple of months. She has been lurking on the boards also and she is finally going to post soon she said. You have all given us so much hope. This is the best web site and each one of you are so couragous. We feel that we know all of you and I would like all of you to get to know us also. By reading all of your posts, we know there is always hope. You all have taught us to never give up. If you aren't satisfied with a Dr., fire him. Get 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th 6th opinions. We feel many options are open for her especailly after reading about some of the treatments/ surgeries you guys have had. I wanted to say I am very sorry for all of you for the tremendous losses here on the board with in the last couple of weeks.
Thank you all for the encouragement you give to everyone. I will see you all on the board.

Hi Amy...
We're so glad you're here. We're really sorry you have to be here, but this is one of the finest boards out there for support. When I started posting here, I immediately felt so many arms around me -- guiding me with an overwhelming sense of love.
I hope you two feel the same.

Hello Amy I am sorry to hear
Hello Amy I am sorry to hear about your sister. Hang in there because I belive there is hope for eveyboby. I am new to this board too. My mother has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and I know how hard it is to watch a family member suffer with this disease. I have learned so much from everybody here who are all struggling with the same thing. It is nice to have a place like this to go to for support. I havent been able to talk my mom into posting yet because she is not ready but I share with her what I learn from these wonderful people.0 -
A warm welcome to you both
Glad you 'introduced yourself' and hope soon your sis will feel comfortable joining us as well.
Best wishes and thoughts to you both.

Hi Eric, thanks for the reply.
BTW the Tye Dye shirt was made for her school's (She is a 7th grade math teacher)band field trip. She went along on the trip to Hershey Park (her daughter is 14 and in the band. She is an excellent trumpet/guitar player) and they were all given the shirts to wear. It is the school colors!!!
