I have been very privileged to have you in my breast cancer life for the past five years. Very soon after I plucked up courage to post of my struggles you responded - on line and in a private message. I felt supported. What I did not know at the time was that you also had recently been diagnosed.

Now is the time for you. Lean on us, we are here to support you.
