So many stories

For the past week I have been deleting nearly 2,500 messages dating back to 2012 when I was first diagnosed.

It brought back so many stories of pink friends - those who comforted and supported me, and those who I comforted and supported later on. Having this site was such a lifeline. It still is, for hundreds of us - thousands probably. It would have been so much harder to cope without it. Thank you Lynne for starting BCNA.

I don't know where some of the wonderful women are now - some haven't posted in a long while and I hope they are doing well and living their lives to the full. For those still having treatment - you are all warriors and all the love and support is coming your way. For newbies - you will never find a better place to come for understanding and support.

I don't need the Messages to remember you all. I won't forget any of you. Much love to you all. xxx Michelle

    Hello Michelle and all you other luvlies that I have connected with over the long haul of years since November 2011.

    You have all been there for me and hopefully me for you also.

    You are all a part of my family and are often in my thoughts. 

    I don't have as much time on the network now as I used to do which I guess is a good sign as I am finally trying....... to pick up the pieces and get a life back.  It has certainly taken long enough.  Unfortunately I continue to hit pot holes in my health but if I fall off that bike I am on I just dust myself off and get back up there.

    I am currently bound to my bed with another flu come whatever but will be back out there again soon.

    I am so blessed to have so many pink sisters by my side both new and old which I am so grateful to BC and BCNA for.

    There have been so many changes in my life since joining BCNA online network of which have not all been bad I can assure you and the bad ones have just helped to make me the stronger and better person that I am today.

    Luv u all very much and you will always continue to be my BCNA family who have been there for me from the very beginning.  Off to have a full body CT and bone scan next week so I need your ongoing luv and support to continue and send me lots of positive vibes.

    Luv today, tomorrow and always

    Hi michelle I agree this site has been great, the times I have come on and felt so low and someone will comment and I didn't feel so alone. I'm one of the lucky ones who has had alot of support during treatment, but this site gives something that other people can't give and that is knowing how you are really feeling. It is great to be able to share the good and bad times, thanks because I think you were there when I was having treatmentxx
