Thanks for recalling your inspiring cancer adventure for us. I'm coming up on my 13th, after a rather routine and uninteresting experience with stage 2 rectal cancer.

Thank you for sharing your story. After I was diagnosed, over ten years now, your story gave me hope. You make me want to write out my own story and share it.

Congratulations!
