    Today, February 25th, is the FIVE year anniversary of my partial cystectomy at Vanderbilt, and five years of remaining cancer free. It is a great milestone to be able to talk about, at the same time realizing how fragile that security may be. But for now, time to reflect and celebrate all the goodness in life!

    Best wishes… Catherine

    Oh Catherine! I am so happy for you. You bet “now is the time to celebrate” :laugh:

    I haven’t been checking in as often, due to other concerns, but it is ALWAYS great to hear good news.

    I am celebrating with you :)

    Catherine
    I may be late to this party, but I am wearing my party hat!

    Congratulations! You are an inspiration to all of us! You deserve this celebration!

    We love you for living and being such a great source of survivorship. Just made up that word.

    Congratulation, Catherine.

    As you remember I had my 10 year anniversary last year, so I expect that you will follow the same way.

    Hope everything else is well with you.

    Sincerely,
