Having problems with message search?
Chuck, I am glad that you have decided to continue with the webpage. I have found solace here over the past five years for many different things. I may not always post, but I always read the posts.
After five years I am going back to the oncologist every three months again as I have cells found during my pap smear of another type of cancer (the one related to HPV for cervical cancer) of course I have no cervix but it does not stop those nasty little cells from attacking other areas.
My other news is that the economy has finally hit me in that I was let go from my job after 16 1/2 years. I was the highest paid employee and they decided that they could replace me with someone for less money. I spoke to an attorney about all of this and decided to move on with my life. I don't want to be in a lawsuit for 2 or 3 years that I may or may not win. I believe that God has a plan and I will have less stress in my life at a new job, as I will not be running the office and the person everyone goes to when things don't work out. Or as a buffer between them and the owner.
My 13yrd old son attempted suicide twice a few months ago and I have been dealing with that as well as having to go to work everyday. Now I am able to focus more on him and getting things in the right order.
Thanks as always for letting me "purge" things that are better out then left in. This group of people, of whom none I have met, have become important people to me and I wish all of the Survivors the best! Laurie

Friends,
I have been posting here and there for 11 years. I seldom worry about my own cancer except when I have my semiannual checkups and then I really think they are just doing a followup on my clinical trial to check if I'm still alive. Then they put a check mark in their statistics so they can eventually republish the current stats of the trial.
Cancer is no longer the focus of my life as it is not the focus of those who founded this group. Facebook, Twitter, etc. have replaced this forum and I will let it go.
I will continue to maintain the Cancer Survivors Gathering Place Web Site as it continues to be a place where Cancer Survivors occasionally find peace.
Shalom,
Chuck
