I'd like to add #11:  Be thankful for people like you who can take our feelings and put them into such beautiful words.  Thank you PJ.  Happy Thanksgiving.

You put the "giving" into Thanksgiving, Dani - thanks. Enjoy your family, food, and trip, in that order! PJ

I am so thankful for you, BCN, and all your contributors, and writers, and info and people that post, and even friends I actually met in real life and talked on the phone with during the hardest of times. Thanks for being there when I had a scary dream, or freaky question at night when no one else was up. I knew someoen would get back to me sooner than my doctors! Thank you for being a center for a million questions that you have answered a million times, and still answering them with kindness and patience. Thank you so much. For everything you do everyday. Hugs and Love, Peg.

This is a great place to connect, Peggie - I picture a long line of women, the ones ahead reaching out to those behind, all holding on, all facing cancre together... Keep holding on! Take care- PJH
