There is too many to name. I knew nothing when I arrived here, other than that lump shouldn't be there. Today, I can read and understand reports and help others. Thanks all! Everyone has also been very supportive to me in my times of grief. I Know I shouldn't go off topic, but I sometimes do! Thanks for all your understanding too!

I want to give a special thanks to Shetland, moth, exbrnxgrl, ParakeetsRule and the others who are Stage IV who give of their time and knowledge to offer support to newbies in the Not Diagnosed and Just Diagnosed forums. It can be a challenge for all of us to deal with the worries of newbies - many of whom voice fear about the very lives that we are living - and I imagine that it can sometimes be much more challenging for those who are Stage IV.
Shetland, I haven't posted in your thread, but I've been following and am there with you every day.
Many thanks to all who mentioned me in this thread.

I love this topic. I want to thank you Shetland Poney, she was the first one I asked for advice and she kindly gave me so many useful tips. Then, Moth, full of knowledge and suggestions on cancer and everything else. How about Beesie, with so much knowledge and patience to explain us with graphs and everything else that makes sense to us. Mel is the host of her amazing living room where you feel welcome to stop any time of day or night. Alice with her amazing sense of humor.
