Hello Everyone,
I's not often I write in however I wanted to share the encouraging news that I am 4years NED today.
It has been a tumultuous ride but three things have gotten me through it all so far: FAITH ( in God and my health care providers), COURAGE (to tolerate the treatments), and LOVE ( of family and friends).
Have a Merry Christmas and MANY Happy New Years!

Re: 4Years NED
My congratulations, enjoy it 
I like Buffalo and the bills, I have great friends there, like Paula my phychologist and Sky my old friend...
I think in Buffalo must exists a special air to get the beast out forever.

Re: 4Years NED
Thank you for sharing. I relish reading every one of these.
I'm just a dude who still can't believe he had a resection and went through chemo (currently 13 years NED). Is this real life?
Re: 4Years NED
Thanks for letting us know about your impressive good health Bruce.... Very inspiring! enjoy the holidays!
