Who will join me in celebrating with a "HAPPY DANCE?" Today it is 6 years since I was dx!! YIPEEEEE!!!! These last 6 years have been full of emotions, some bad but some good. I have met many new friends here and had some great times at our gatherings (speaking of which, are we ever going to have another one?) I have had way too many surgeries, had to quit my job, got lymhedema, got fat, BUT....I have gotten older (good thing!!) and I am much more beautiful on the inside !! Thanks for being here all my dear sisters!
L&H, Gail
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
Not only will I join you in the happy dance, I will even turn off the Godzilla marathon to do it. I am so happy for you and the six years. I'll be hoisting the tequila tonight in a toast that you have many, many more anniversaries.
Doing the happy dance here, too. Six years is a good milestone, isn't it? Time seems to be flying by for me. They say the older you get the faster it goes and I believe that. You have been busy lately, didn't I see in another post you had moved? Hope things are quieting down now and you have more time to post. Hugs MK
Gail - What a wonderful milestone! Six years seems so far away. I am only 1-3/4 years out. Best wishes to you for many, many more uneventful years. Time to go get that drink to help you celebrate!

Life is lived in the present. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is yet to be. Today is the miracle.
The challenge may not be easy, but it is possible.
Good news from you, too, Gail. It is wonderful to drop in and find good news. We have all been through so much together. It is great to celebrate success stories. Hugs, Lauri

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Gail- Congratulations six times over!!! what wonderful news! no one except us survivors understands we're *happy* to be getting older! cheers!!!!! stefanie
Six is a lovely number, don't you think? I am looking down the short road to 7 and wondered if I'd see it...so glad that we're counting the anniversaries behind us as we move on with ou new and improved lives.
Gail: I am a little late w/ this CONGRATULATIONS, but I don't think that will matter. What a wonderful milestone to meet! I hope that you and your family celebrated. You are a wonderful example for all of the new members that we have as well as those of us that are looking forward to reaching another anniversary!
Happy, happy 6th, Gail. I'm a little late too, but visited the site today and saw your great news. I too enjoy the fact that I continue to age!! The alternative is not so enjoyable.
It will be 9 years for me in September, knock wood.
Take care of yourself and even though, like Jo-Ann, I like tequila, I've decided I like apple martinis more! So, I'll have one tonight in your honor.
Many hugs and congratulations! I have been wondering about you but have been gone myself. Doctor said to get my life back to normal and stop running around. OK! I guess that means I will be back on the board. There are too many things that I have been missing here. Wren and I will celebrate tonight. I'm out of Irish Whiskey but there must be something.
