    I agree....
    But in years passed, I would get blank stares when I mentioned this site...with healthcare professionals!! I always carried brochures from ACS that talked about it....

    I am glad to see it's so much more 'out there'!!!

    Thanks!!
    I'm not surprised though. I have learned so much from this site and am so thankful that I found it, too. I always mention this site to anyone that will listen. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information and also for ALL you wonderful CSNers.

    WTG Kathi!
    Just recently my Texas State Representative's wife was diagnosed with cancer in both breasts, and when I spoke to her, I encouraged her to seek out the CSN site. She has since called me to say how much information she has gleened from this site, and how she will continue to use it as she goes through treatment. So far she hasn't posted, but I know that there is another supporter of CSN, and eventually I hope she will post herself. I am grateful to have found CSN, and can truly say it probably saved my life, if not my sanity. Thank you for your post. Hugs, Judy

    Great place for info
    This is such a great place to get info. I like it because we have ladies (and some guys) who have been through the treatments and surgeries. For the new ones there is always someone with a very similiar story. It is alway nice to get to talk to someone who has been there done that!I have had questions answered that I had not even thought to ask yet! Thank you all. God Bless

    Oh, gorsch....I'm blushing!!!!
    Thanks for the compliment!

    I always loved this pic, and it's nearing the holidays, so I thought "Why not?". My beau and I attend one 'black tie optional' party each year...and, just like Prom in High School, all the ladies need a new dress each time (otherwise, you are gossiped about in the ladies room...ladies????). So, this was my 2008 outfit...after all treatments, etc, feeling REALLY good! My beau was too ill in 2009 for us to go...but this year...well, I bought myself a new 'sparklie' snowflake necklace at an auction in The Netherlands this summer, so at least I have my jewelery set!!! (maybe just the sparkles...naked otherwise...hummm...there IS dancing!!!!)

    BIG sloppy hugs, Kathi
