Greetings

[japdip]

A note of thanks first to Med Help for selecting me as your new CL. I know we all miss Healingwell62 and thank her for her dedication to our Community. Although I hated to see her go, I was elated to see her return to a normal like .... proving of course "There is LIFE after Breast Cancer."

Thank you too for the congratulations and comments on my appointment. I truly hope that I will be able to live up to those kind words and I can assure you I will do my very best. As most of you "regulars" know I'm not much for speeches or lengthy responses. I feel if you ask a question, you want an answer. I am a person who knows only the truth and will never "sugar coat" anything. One of you has referred to my style as "smooth"; perhaps "cut & dried" is more like it .. LOL

I do have one request of all of you .... please share your experiences with the new visitors to our Community. I was just told yesterday by a poster that it was so comforting to hear from someone who had "been there". This is what a Community is all about.

To the newcomers; May I remind you that the only question that can be referred to as "foolish", "dumb","stupid"
of "ridiculous" is the one that goes UNANSWERED because it was never ASKED. We are here to answer, advise, inform, comfort and support in whatever way we can. Please come join us ! Let's make our Community THE PLACE TO BE when you have a question or concern regarding breast cancer issues.

Hello- I just want to say Thanks so much for being here for all us women that have or
that are going through such very tough times.
It just seemed like I could not get off this site when I was going through my whole
breast issue ordeal .It was so comforting to know you ladies would be there.

I Hope you realize how much you mean to so many women!!!
You truly are a blessing.
Thanks
Lisa

You may have noticed that I recently posted two questions myself.

I have done this in part to encourage people like myself, and those who usually only answer questions and help and who have long finished their treatment, to also feel free to still ask questions.

Of course I can ask my questions in other places or look them up by googling, and often I already know the answer in part. but it feels good and therapeutic to  share some of my (our) concerns, and that we still have, here with you.  we may be ahead of the game, but not separate from all this altogether.

So I hope you old-timers, and us experts, still humble ourselves and ask and tell a bit about how we are doing.

Thanks,

KATRIN

You truly are a wealth of knowledge, and I feel that everyone that belongs to this forum is blessed to have an individual such as yourself available to help when needed.  
Along with many others I'm sure, I have had a rough year with as my sister and I were both diagnosed at the same time, and knowing there are people like you in the world makes it a better place.

I plan to become a support person here at home, as I now know how important it is for women to have a shoulder to lean on.

Again, thank you for being you and who you are!
