@nohrt4me, thank you for mentioning the volunteer Mentors, trusted fellow members of the community. They are literally the backbone on this community.
Meet the mentors and learn more about what they do here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/tab/volunteer-mentors/
I also would like to acknowledge the vital role of
- Super Helpers who check in every day to Mayo Clinic Connect to see who might need a hug, tips, or simply a listening ear.
- Greeters, who make a point of welcoming new members who post for the first time. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/newsfeed-post/be-a-greeter-welcome-members-when-they-make-their-first-post/
- New members, who are brave enough to ask a question even about the tough and taboo subjects.
It takes a village to create this community. Together we do better.

I am so grateful to have come back to this site. The past 3 years learning about my body versus Neuroendocrine Cancer really left me feeling alone.
I have learned to reach out in a safe forum like this one to keep me getting answes, but possibly l can help other's with my journey.
So, thank you all for our future NEW Chapter of our Lives!
