I Really Should Introduce Myself Properly...
Posted: 15 Jul 2007 22:59I've been posting here and there on the forum for a couple of days now but I thought I'd better formerly introduce myself to the group:
I'm shyvixen, also known in some circles as Shelby. I live in Denver, Colorado. I work as a library clerk and go to grad school part time at the University of Denver. I'm 40 years old and single.
From about 1980 to 1984 The Police and especially Stewart Copeland were the center of my universe. In the years after I would check in with other Stewart Copeland fans I knew from time to time to see what he was up to.
At the end of 2006 I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. While I was undergoing chemotherapy, The Police announced their reunion tour. I had not just one, but two of my friends buy me tickets to the two Police shows in Denver in June. I have awesome friends. I thought about the upcoming shows a lot while I was doing chemo and worked hard to keep strong so I would be up to going.
On April 30th I finished my chemo, on May 30th I had a CT scan and was declared cancer-free and on June 10th I GOT TO SEE THE POLICE PLAY LIVE AND IT WAS AMAZING! I don't think life can get much better than that. I felt like I was seeing some dear friends that I hadn't seen in far too long. If there's one thing I've learned in my experince with cancer it's how important friends are, and you shouldn't lose touch with them. So here I am. The people here are great and I'm completely addicted to this place already. So, I hope you'll let me stay awhile.
