This thread....

is such a powerful, hauntingingly thought provoking, compassionate and sometimes sad, sometiimes gloriously wonderful place to see.

All with our own hopes and prayers, friends and families, we have a pkace to come and share, acknowledge, or just support in thought.

Our worlds are just an enter key, an electronic highway away. Driving by to say Love, and Thoughts, and precious memories be with you all.

Tommi.

I am counting down the damn days. This is so frustrating. Its been 18 months since my last chemo treatment and while its better, its still a pain in the ass.

Chemo Brain:
While frustrating, the ultimate outcome is very good: symptoms typically disappear in about four years.

Had my 15 month Check Up today with my Oncology Practitioner.
My CEA is within normal limits, has come down 1 point...:).
I go again in June, and again in September. That will be my yearly Re Scan..CT chest/abd/pelvis with IV Contrast.

I am very happy that today she told me my chances that were 59% Survival rate, now bring me up to a 75% 5 year survival rate...and that each 3 month checkup, being within normal ranges, decreases my chances of recurrence.
I am very happy with this, but by same token, I feel a sense of sadness to post my good news here.....a bittersweet kind of feeling....(w). I know all of us here will understand this...

Know my heart is with each and everyone of us..always...I heart you all...Clay

It's been several years for my sister and she says she is just now feeling what used to be normal. She had lung cancer, had a partial lung removal, chemo that almost killed her three times..she had bone scans every 3 months for years but the last few years twice a year. It's been grueling with a lot of other kinds of heart ache along the way. She is brave, much braver then I would be.

kittygirl, its amazing what strength you have when you need it. We can surprise ourselves with what we are capable of. Your inner strength is there.

Glad to to hear your sister is moving forward and is still in recovery. :)

Hugs, Deb
