                Hi Mike! Go to your profile and account settings, it says "signature" with a text box and you can put whatever you'd like in there and that'll show up at the bottom of all your posts 🙂

                    It feels very strange I guess. To know that I’m going to be okay. I feel like it’s going to be hard getting back to a normal life

                        Fantastic news!  So happy for you.  I know it will take time before you are able to get past the fear this disease brings.  Take a deep breath and turn your focus to your family.  You are going to make it!

                          Isn't it such a relief to see all those results of "NORMAL"? Haha it IS interesting how we never want to be normal until you get a cancer diagnosis!!! I couldn't WAIT to be normal again!!!!

                          Congrats on your new normalcy, Savannah!
