Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I usually post on other boards here like the Fibromaylgia or Pain boards, but have been wanting to read the posts here as I have lost nearly all of my family members to cancer (all different types). My mom died recenlty in September 2003. And my grandma, and uncle have both died. My aunt is recently in remission. And all have died very young. My mom was 65, my grandma was 54, my uncle was 49, and my aunt just turned 56. My family is small. I have no brothers or sisters. So now all who are left are my aunt, myself and her two daughters. Oh and my son and his wife and child.

So, I thought I'd just hang back and read for awhile and see what I can share here. Maybe I can give a wee bit of support, or get some support for the days when I feel "robbed" of my whole family. Even as I sit here to type this, my eyes well up.

Anyway, my user name is tkgoodspirit, and I try to live by that name. My friends all call me TK.
