Wow, Sheila!!! Thank you for posting and sharing. You are an inspiration to all of us, and especially the newly diagnosed who need hope. I remember when I progressed after 6 years to stage 4 two months before my daughter's wedding in 2004. Scans indicated that it was everywhere including a 3cm tumor in my brain. My husband asked my oncologist privately on the phone how long I had. He said, "I can give her years." I know that you can imagine how much that meant to me at the time. Well, I am still here. Wishing you another ten + years, hopefully reaching NED. I will be thinking of your over the next few weeks as you endure those road trips and your radiation. You are truly amazing.
"Happy Birthday!!!"
