Today I am 3 Years Cancer Free
Dear Friends
I hopefully had my last Turbt Nov 10, 2007. After going through 2 early recurrences, 30 BCG treatments, much stress prior to the fall of 2008 time seems to have flown by.
ABLCS was the 1st support group I joined in the fall of 2008. The best decision I made during this journey. Everyone was so helpful, caring, and many had experienced what I had been going through. My entire outlook regarding this disease and me changed. The support I received will NEVER be forgotten. They taught me so much, how to research, explained the 2nd opinion, which I got because of them, and man or man that was so helpful and put my mind at ease. They taught me how to assist and support new diagnosed patients and how to give back what I received from them.
If you are new here, ask, ask, ask, the people here have the answers and they really care for your well being.
Thanks to everyone, and especially Cynthia and Ed for making this terrific support group available to us all.
God Bless,
Jack
