Like many, we will never see or know who the heck this triple JJJ checkout chic really is, but I do recall the time 4 years ago, so am happy as that all is still well.
A great forum, almost family like.
Get/stay well.

My dad has been through a similar experience JJJ, so I have the utmost admiration for your determination and fighting spirit.
I've always admired the support and friendliness you show to everyone here at IIS.
I knew there were past health issues, but I didn't know the extent of them either.

Here's to a long and happy life.
Congratulations, love and hugs....

Molly.

Congratulations Jeanette! That is very good news. Here's to many more years free of the dreaded C.

Though we haven't met in person yet, it is clear to me that you are one of a special breed of people who quietly and humbly go about making the world a much better place to be. (and that young fella Ponders isn't too bad either...)

Al.

JJJ is one of those people you meet that you immediately feel you've known for a lifetime....

You're an inspirational lady jjj, just thinking about your astro efforts makes me tired.

Keep well and remember we're always thinking of you.

You are an amazing person J and I am very glad to have met you and the many other amazing people on this forum.

Here's to the many, many happy, clear skies ahead!

Jeezz Nettie, I remember you coming over here for a feed a year or so back after a "hospital check up" with out a word of winging. I honestly had no idea how serious the problem was. Take care girl, cya at Astrofest.

A big {hug} and congratulations Nettie!!!

You have got so much inner strength- do you know that?! Despite all your battles, there you are helping everyone else out, and are even able to smile and laugh through it all. You're one tough cookie and a lot tougher than you think at times! It also takes a lot of strength (believe it or not) to actually ask for help, I admire that you can do that. Yep.. you are very special indeed.

Paul, those words for Nettie were just so beautiful.

Nettie, I was watching the other day the doco on Farrah Fawcett's fight against cancer (remember, we were talking about her once?). I'm still scarred by it! It was gruesomely real and a brave thing she did, to have everything she went through publicy displayed so that others can understand the torment and struggle. I've watched my father battle and lose to Cancer, but after watching this doco, it made me even more empathetic. The difference though, my father didn't go to every seemingly conceivable length that Farrah did- so it has made me more aware of the desperation for survival also.
