daggiesmom Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Well tomorrow will be four years since I was told the bad news. I can remember sitting in the doctor's office after the exam and him telling me that I had small cell but "we're going for a cure." Those words meant so much to me. I was so shocked, sad, regretful, depressed. But hearing his words made me feel, "I'll get through this. Don't give up Joanie." I am so grateful to all those people who have helped me, my doctor, my husband, my friends, and my website buddies here, that I can't begin to describe how I feel. Just thanks to you all for being here for me. I truly, truly appreciate all of you. And I wish you all the same longevity that I have been blessed with.
