Believe
Author: angel96
Contributed by angel96

 

Believe in every teardrop, sadness will find happiness.
Believe in every tarnished soul, it will find the heart of gold.
Believe in times of darkness when there is nothing but despair in sight,
There is always peace, love, and happiness at the end of the light.

Celebrations!



  • Happy birthday to us! CSN turns six years old this month. We would like to thank all members for making CSN the best on-line community for cancer survivors, caregivers, family, and friends. Your CSN Staff
  • I am celebrating three years cancer-free. For a young, two-time survivor (ovarian and breast cancer) this is wonderful news. Before the cancer, I was a workaholic and neurotic perfectionist. Nevertheless, cancer changed me for the best. I truly believe this experience made me a stronger woman and a better mother. Having cancer was a dark time for me. However, there was a light at the end of the tunnel: LIFE. Never give up! Sincerely, butterflies ;-)
  • I just celebrated my 5-year anniversary on May 17. I am fighting the "beast" looking forward to a happy life. I neglected the radical prostatectomy 5 years ago, the chemo, the injections, the hormones, the c-t scans and so on. I feel happy because I was and I will be the every day winner to this fight. I feel great. My flag: never give up. Nick C, Athens, Greece
  • I was diagnosed in December of 2000, with this disease. Had partial lung removed, radiation and once a week chemo. Expected life was 6 months. I changed NOTHING. No new-fangled drugs, diets, I did not even stop smoking. Now I am not recommending this, but I will be 65, God willing, in 2006, and there is no evidence of my cancer. Keep the faith. psychorr
  • In January my husband, Shawn B. was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma. Earlier this week we found out that he is considered a cancer survivor. I am so happy that I just want to spread the news to everyone. So, congratulations to him and all cancer survivors! Oh yeah, and thanks to all in the chat rooms. Thanks for helping through a trying time,
    Elena B.

Remembering




  • In remembrance of my Dad, Donald T. who passed away 01-23-96 from melanoma. He was a wonderful son, brother, husband and the best dad anyone could have asked for! And is so missed by so many. Love, Altia
  • My mom, Martha M. was a 15-year survivor of breast cancer ... she was always fighting against this terrible disease, which included so many treatments and side effects but she never gave up! She is a true inspiration to me as I face my own battle with cancer ... Ohiogirl
  • My husband and the love of my life, Dave H., was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in April 2004. The prognosis was very grim and Dave would have none of that. He was the most positive upbeat person and actively searched ways to remain optimistic and he was unwavering in his quest and belief that he would be a survivor. That's why CSN became so important to Dave. While I feel cheated and so incredibly broken-hearted, I also know what a gift Dave gave me, even in the darkest hours of this disease, through his undying optimism and spirit and I thank CSN for providing incentive for Dave to remain positive. Sincerely, Bridget H.
