I just want to say that I feel so blessed to be a part of this blog.  I have never felt so empowered since my diagnosis.  This opportunity has provided me confidence and pride. After my diagnosis, I felt that I had lost a part of myself.  But I was wrong; I have certainly grown as a person since my diagnosis.  I owe a lot of that to this amazing experience.  This blog has allowed me to reflect and absorb my true feelings.  It has provided insight into a world that I knew very little about.  I can’t help but feel somewhat at ease knowing that I am not alone.  I have nothing but gratitude, love and respect for all of you!
