Hi,

  That is so well said!!  I joined another site years ago when I was first diagnosed.   Well I stopped posting after awhile for reasons I won't go into, but continued to read all of the posts.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate every single person who takes time to help alleviate fears or just share much needed knowledge to help others.  Like you said, even people who have long cleared this disease still take time to pave the way for the rest of us.  I will be jumping on board the train Monday evening.  I am as ready as can be, and plan to be an active member from here on!  Thanks again!  Brie

Philly, so nicely said! I've had so many tears of joy while reading this forum, a very pleasant surprise.  Yes, thank you all for all your help/support/laughs/jokes/information, and genuine concern for fellow passengers who are total strangers.  Makes the journey so much more memorable!  FT
