Greetings from an old-timer

Posted by Pat on June 21, 2001 at 23:35:39:

I am back to visit you. My feelings were hurt, I became angry and flounced off the board quite some time ago. I probably would have gotten over it and returned, but before that could happen I found out I had endometrial cancer. I was very frightened and upset. Even though I am 100% fine now, it took over a year for me to recover emotionally from the experience. I want to take this opportunity to urge all of you, men and women alike, to get your regular, annual checkups - you know the ones I mean!! Early detection saves lives - believe me, I know. Thanks to a couple of special friends on the board for not mentioning the cancer thing until I was ready. Now, if you don't mind, I will stay a while as this is such a fun place to be.
