My sister has just been diagnosed with Stage2 Breast cancer and I've pointed her to your site. She's amazingly positive and that was one thing that struck me about you. I'm sure your words will inspire her and help us all get through what's to come as well as possible. Regards, Andy Thanks Sylvie for your efforts in keeping this site up-to-date and useful.

Isn't the gratitude you feel after getting through this experience immense? I, too, am a survivor, and when I was diagnosed I had about a 30 percent chance of surviving (even with the modern medical treatments available). I'm celebrating my 2-year anniversary of finishing chemo this weekend (on Easter), and, yes, I am grateful for the medical expertise, friends and family (and grace of God!) that got me here. I also recognize the role of my own strength in my healing process. You, too, sound like such a strong, beautiful woman. I wish you many more adventures and gifts in the years to come. Much love!

Everything tends to be more intense and special because you can compare it against the reality of "I might not have been here to experience this if...". I too am so grateful for those of us who have made it through the experience of breast cancer and those who will have the courage to continue to do so. God's greatest blessings to you, Sylvie. Sylvie,

Only those who have traveled the road of cancer and have lived through the “almosts” truly understand what a gift it is to have another chance at life. Everything tends to be more intense and special because you can compare it against the reality of “I might not have been here to experience this if…”. I too am so grateful for those of us who have made it through the experience of breast cancer and those who will have the courage to continue to do so. God’s greatest blessings to you, Sylvie.

I thought I should stop in and say how inspiring your story is. My mother in law was diagnosed with breast cancer quite a while ago, and lets just say it hasn't been as easy trip. I'm sure you know what I’m talking about. After discussing it with her doctors they decided that chemo and a mastectomy were her best options. They did her surgery quite a while ago. Recently she has been hinting that she is thinking about getting a breast implant. I guess missing one is really hard on her self esteem. We just keep telling her that we will love and support her, no matter what her decision. I just hope that is the right thing to say... I've been at it for hours, trying to gather all the info for her on breast implants as I can and I ran across a website called http://www.ebreastaug.com that I am going to have her take a look at. Hopefully it will be able to answer some of her questions, and maybe even find a doctor in her area. Out of all the websites, news articles, and personal blogs that I have been through all of them keep saying that it is important to be properly educated before making any decisions. I know I’ve already said it but I have to say it again. Your blog about being "grateful" has been inspiring." I have to get back to my research, but I just wanted to say good luck!! I hope everything gets better and better for you... I am going to ask my mother in law to read some of your blogs; she might find some useful hints...

I had breast cancer too and just ended treatment and started tamoxifen today. I send you love and thanks for sharing. You have a gift with words and are very beautiful. I want to have all the joy and peace and love I can in this world and give the same to others. Let's Live! And keep on living! Judy Dear Sylvie,
