Hi, I'm Liz,
Firstly I would just like to say what amazing and inspirational stories there are on The Breast Cancer Site, thank you for sharing and thank you to this wonderful site that does so much to help people.

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1995 and then breast cancer in 1999. It has been a 'hard' road to say the least, BUT I have two favourite words now, that help to keep me going - FAITH and HOPE....

Without them I would not be doing so well.. I am a 10 year survivor now, but sadly, my very special husband who stood by me through all my trials has been taken by motor neurone disease. I miss him SO MUCH. We had just had our 31st wedding anniversary before his passing.

I have now taken 'the bull by the horns' so to speak. I am writing a book about HOPE and what I have learnt on my journey so far. I refuse for the the 'cup half empty' to win..... I believe that by helping others we in turn help ourselves..

Accept each new day gratefully and remember that no matter what is thrown at us, there is always someone out there doing it harder!

God Bless,
