Re: Exactly one year tommorow the cancer was removed
Thank you for posting. I am days away from my one year of diagnosis and my resection was 11/15/2011. In a way it seems like it was all a bad dream. I feel so well now and normal. I am like you, I want to get this year behind me and have 2013 be a NEW beginning, no more bad.
Congrats to you and Jim

Victoria,
I can't believe how fast the year has gone! I was too diagnosed on October 10, 2011 but I didn't have my resection until December 13th because of the genetic testing. Hoping for a great 2013 for all of us!!! I finished chemo in June and it almost seems like a distant memory. Until my scans in November!!! Best of luck for a healthy future !!
