Thank you all! It is great news after 9 months of absolutely some of the most horrific things that one can imagine going on in one persons life. But we've made it this far and plan on making it a lot further in life TOGETHER! You are have been awesome and I cannot tell you how much your support has meant to me and to Jim. I often tell him (he doesn't go to the forum I do) things that have been said or suggestions from longer term RC/IC folks. It has been amazing thank you, thank you, thank you. I just hope that in some small way I can make life better for a new person who is starting this journey! It is so scary when you first start it!

:unsure: I was posting a cake over on chit chat for Jimswife but unlike mike (mmc) who can post great things, I have lots of difficulty with that. Happy birthday anyway!

Great news! Way to go Jim! It's good to see when people have good check ups. Shows it can be done especially where you were at in the beginning and what you had to go through.

thanks, Nancy, it is HUGE. Lots more CTs etc to go but we are on the way at least! Sort of the song, "happiness is lubbock in the rearview mirror" Happiness is B**tard Cancer in the rearview mirror!
