Nice Lance, but I celebrate every day I can find an excuse. The day I was born, the day I was diagnosed, the day I had "all known cancer resected", the day I finished Folfox, the day I finished Avastin, every day the mail comes, every day I have a normal BM, every day we have weather. I ke...

I really wish there was more I could say or do. You and your family are much in my thoughts. Let me know if I can be of any help at all. I'm praying.

So diamonds really ARE a girls best friend! Just be careful not to lose it down the pot when you do the prep!

My husband!

And another one for Matt.

I had an idea I wanted to float. How about posting links to romantic videos, songs, lyrics, poetry or anyting we want, and dedicating them to our sweeties for Valentine's Day? They all deserve a little appreciation, don't they?

Here's mine. For Matt.

Here's my take on it. I was cancer free after my surgery. All known cancer was resected. I got chemo after that to clean up any possible remaining stray cells, but there was no known cancer in my body at that time. I consider the date of surgery my NED date. I had clear scans post-op. Both PET and C...

I typed that before I read helen's message!

Sending all my thoughts, prayers, hope, and good vibes your way!
