To Tina,
Welcome aboard. You have been doing the job of moderator for some time, when you consider all the help you have given to the folks on this board. You are truly a kind and gentle spirit, but a strong woman and it shows through everything you do. God bless you and may your health continue to be good, to where you can keep up with the forum. I believe it will.
To everyone,
Thank you so much for the kind welcome back from everyone who posted. It has meant a lot to me to be back now and I'm so touched that I haven't been forgotten.
Some of you were touching upon my health issues in the past year. To address that for you, I had an aggressive form of endometrial cancer, had surgery, had chemotherapy and aggressive radiotherapy as well. I am only year since the end of my treatment. I have another year to wait before I can have my port a cath taken out. (They give you a two year window to wait to see if the cancer will come back.) It can also come back say, within the next five-ten years, but most likely, if it will reoccur, it will happen within the first two years from end of treatment. So, I have my energy back and am doing things I used to do. I am very happy in my life and that is one of the reasons I wanted to come back as moderator. I have missed you all so much.
For those of you friends who pray, please continue to mention me in your list of prayers. That is all I have ever asked. It means the world to me.
I am so happy to be among my friends here and know that I have missed you. I haven't been gone completely, as I have been reading and posting once in a while, but not to the extent that I did before I was diagnosed.
Again, thanks for the welcome back. You'll never know how much that has really meant to me.
God bless you, my friends.
