I lurk on the breastcancer.org forums as I did during my first bout with BC and they helped me so much. As time went by and I got farther and farther out from that diagnosis and treatment I didn't visit there but every once in a while. Then when I was diagnosed with BC again I started lurking there again. It makes me feel like I have folks that truly understand me. They lift me up when I am down, make me feel like its OK to feel the way I do from time to time, and allow me to lift others also, when I am able. I feel like they are the only ones that understand how I feel from day to day.
I was able to pay it forward with one of them. I sent her a jacket with pockets for drains that another woman had sent to me. I also sent two camisoles with drain pockets. All I asked her to do was to pay them forward also.
I love those ladies and I don't even know them. They are my sisters from another mother and I appreciate them so much.
