Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Lori, I am new to the group so haven't had a chance to know you through it, but I can say with certainty that it is already very helpful to me in managing a condition that is not well understood by my doctors. The information I find here will be given to them and challenge them to do research and find ways to help me. I will be able to be a better mother for the assistance and support this group can give me in managing the symptoms my symptoms. I know the hereditary component, because my father also has suffered for forty years with Samters. Please know that you have my gratitude for your contributions to this resource. I will do what I can to make sure my children don't suffer from samters the way my father and I do.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Lori I am sure you are now headstrong so I wish you all the best and enjoy what time you have left with your wonderful family. You have touched us with your comments over the years. Blessings, Steve From: samters [mailto:samters ] On Behalf Of truelori Sent: 13 March 2009 06:21 samters Subject: mostly leaving group Sadly my breast cancer has spread throughout my body and I won't be able to participate in the Samters group on any regular basis (not that I have been for a while). This group is so important. I have had many hopes and dreams for it, many of which have not come true, but now as I near the end of my life I have to make priorities. I feel this is a strong group and could survive even more strongly with even stronger leadership. I bid you to make a foundation for research, education, understanding.
