4 year anniversary

Postby JoyceV » Tue Jun 20, 2017 4:12 pm

I do not visit this site very much anymore but everyone here was very helpful when I was first diagnosed and during my surgeries and chemo. Today I am celebrating 4 years of being cancer free from Stage IV metatastic colon cancer and want to let others know that there is hope. I do not know what tomorrow brings but I am still here! Thinking and praying for all of you and Happy Summer Solstice!
