Hey Bro, It made my day to read your good news.

Just a lil note to say how thankful I am for this safe place and for every one of you in it.

I think that Miralex plus the original Gatorade is the ticket. The most important thing is to keep it cold. Personally, I like the original Lime for this event.

My process includes holding my nose while drinking, and after swallowing, take a drink of coffee immediately.

Everything was in the clear for me when I had my colonoscopy, by the way. Sorry I didn't follow up, guys!

Cancer, care taking and 60 years of love, One Day at a Time
 

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all well, and enjoying the wonderfullness of spring around the corner.

staying busy, and healthy and happy takes energy. L) :moonstars:

March of 2004 was my first diagnosis of endometrial cancer, followed by total radical hysterectomy, oopherectomy, and 16 lymph nodes surgery. Normal paps for 9 years, then recurrence , months of external and internal radiation therapy,MRIs , etc. Oct. 2013. Now, pap smears every 3 months to watch ***

All in all , it is a good year so far. Doc sgugested I can go to 6 months exams...after the results from last Weds come back. (Just had my follow-up exam/s those nasty pelvic examS ) going from every 3 months to every 6 months, checking for recurrence would be nice

So, on the happy side of life, it just keeps getting better.
We went to a fabulous 3 day mini vacation in a log cabin in the mountains and communed with nature, light snow, birds squirrels. and wonderful fireplace.

Looking forward. Biz trips to Montreal next week, then to Phoenix, then San Diego. Then first week in April, to Tampa and going to introduce the fiance to the bio-famiy. Then in May we are getting married. More Biz trips, then BFP Reunion, and Nov. her bucket list trip to Galapagos Islands. WE ARE GOING TO VACATION ON OLIVIA CRUISE TO THE GALAPAGOS.

She works full time in a high tech, demanding professional career...And as her parents Caregiver for over 10 years. cares for her parents from Friday night to Monday morning, has a lady with them in the day time. then comes home cooks dinner and spends the evening with the folks. .

kaijira's Mom, has slipped into the final stages of Alzheimer's, her dad , just hanging on watches TV 12 hours a day watching his wife of 60 years disappear before our eyes. They still toddle off to bed together every night after TV. Celebrated 60 years anniversary, and soon the Mom's 81st birthday/

So, I know this is just the place that I can post what's going on, and you all get it, as we do so , every now and then.

One day at a time, sober and clean for over 30 + years, I get my high from living life to it's fullest.

.

Have to get US of abdomen.......seems some blood levels are elevated! Of course, I am positive results will all be negative.....if not, I will don my gloves and make cancer my bitch should it rear its ugly head again! I got this! :praying:

Yes, what happened to her? She like dropped off the face of the earth (BFP) after you got well.

Holding good thoughts for you and awaiting your news my friend. Jeano

When are you getting this done?

Touching base
 

sliding into 3rd...base...

and Clay , what's the latest Bro?

Anyway, the Oncologist has extended my every 3 month recurrence check up ( you know the kind) to every 6 months for a year,. So, that is good news. :) then after that it goes back to Stirrups once a year. :police:

I have been sick as a pup for weeks. IN BED--* ALONE****with some kind of nasty germ that took me down,.Upper respiratory infection that was so bad I went to the doctor about it. Couldn't breathe , swallow, ribs felt like they were broken, coughed till , well, it was nasty.

Doc said, you probably caught some kind of virus while traveling ( flights to Montreal, Toronto, all over USA .MY BRAIN...screamed EBOLA...nope, just bronchial pneumonia kind of thing. and guess my immune system isn't what it used to be.

Hummingbirds chirping about their feeder, colorful landscape, , looking out the front window at my beautiful spring garden in bloom.

Wish you all well.

Hey Tommi......my US was all clear! Thanks for asking. Take care....

Checking in
 

Hey,guys.

Looks like I never updated you. In Jan 2015, I got my colonoscopy (I suppose it had been a year out since the last one), and I had a pretty big polyp. It was benign, but he was concerned how big it had gotten so fast. He said I needed to get another in six months. Sooo, guess what time it is? Yep, 6 months later. Fun. I am playing phone tag right now with scheduling

It is also time for my CAT scan so that is scheduled for the end of July.

I will keep you all updated.

I hope that everyone is healthy.

Hello to all,

I am thankful for being directed to this thread.

I have spent some time reading back learning of other peoples journeys and the support you offer each other.

I was very very happy to hear so many of you coming out the other side and living full, happy and healthy lives.

I will share a little of my own story later.

Wishing you all gentle days.

Daisy :bouquet:

Hello all, I wish each and everyone of you a healthy happy journey.

Cancer has to get dropped into the ocean bottom. I am too busy.
 

Wheeeee:pirate-steer: Life goes on.

We got married May 2, 2015. . No time for cancer. Time for each other, time to travel, time for her folks who are in the sunset of their lives. Time to blend 2 pet families, and households of furniture. What a wonderful woman, what an amazing two years since we met.

No time for thinking about that recurrence the month we met. Enjoying the sexiest apron clad cook that feeds me healthy stuff, and waits on me hand and foot, without even realizing how wonderful she is. I want for nothing but time, lots more time. :firetruck::fireman::fireman::fireman::fireman:
