Hello everyone,

I just retired from the California Highway Patrol after some 35 years I had a great career. I've been fortunate enough to have survived my cancer and it has been a blessing to have met you wonderful ladies on this site. I just wanted to thank you all reading and hearing your stories has helped me not to feel alone. Up until a year and a half a go I pets new no other person whom had ovarian cancer then a distant friend called me. She had been given 5-6 month's, I was able to get her to see my onc,gyno, surgeon, today she is cancer free. I now see her every 6 months. Thank you ladies. ❤❤Liz

Just want to wish a long, happy and healthy retirement. I wonder how long it will be before you say, " I don't know how I ever found time to go to work". I hear it so often from my husband and friends who've retired. 🤔

With love and best wishes, Solange 😊

True that I'm constantly busy. It doesn't feel like I'm retired, just a vacation.

Liz,

It's so good of you to let us all know you have been quietly and loyally 'keeping in touch' with us all. As others have said, what an interesting and challenging job and warmest wishes for your retirement...or as I've coined it, 'my next phase of life'. Having survived this far, everyone here is wishing you many more years of health and new adventures to come.
