Where are all the survivors?

I read voraciously from the date of my diagnosis right through treatment. That's why I wrote this blog really, in order to provide some of the information I was searching for and never found. One thing that really concerned me though when I was reading up on breast cancer on a variety of websites was that I would read a fascinating thread or blog about someone's breast cancer journey and then they would vanish and I would wonder what had happened to them. I sometimes filled in the gaps and not in a good way. Now I'm a fully paid up member of the survivors club, I can tell you where most of these women are...they're just getting on with their lives and have largely forgotten all about the cancer!! Although many women, a lot braver than I am will have died from this hideous disease, statistics show that the vast majority will be out there trialling new haircuts, wearing pink ribbons and working, laughing, running, socialising and quite simply living their lives without thinking about those who are wondering what happened to them. So don't be disheartened by the radio silence after cancer, be heartened. And I promise I will try not to forget to keep you updated on how I'm doing!
