Great NEWS! I share your feelings on the survivors guilt. It is tough losing friends on here. So much so, that sometimes I don't want to share some of my good news because of the guilt. But when i read your good news, I'm reinforced to know that we need to hear the good news to keep the "tank" full!


Best to you,
Rob

Fantastic news. Congratulations.

Your life journey is a true inspiration for me and my beloved wife stage IVb. Victory seems not be the option in our case but your fight during folfirinox gave us hope that we can tackle it too.

Live long and prosper.
