Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi, my name is Deena from Colorado Springs. I was diagnosed in April of this year. I just finished treatment the middle of October, and I'm proud to be able to call myself a survivor. The treatment of course was horrible, but I feel this whole experience has made me a stronger person and I wouldn't change any of it. My hair is coming back in rapidly and very curly!! Thanks for letting me be a part of this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
