6 years and one day!!!

[Sandy H]

Wanted to share my anniversary with you hoping this gives some hope to those that may need it. Yesterday marked 6 years living with IBC! I think of these 6 years, this past year was the best. I have done traveling and lots of fun things and my quality of life is still very good. Yes, we are looking for a different treatment plan and hopefully, there will be those out there that will continue to work for a long time. I am saying a prayer for all of you on this board struggling to stay on top of this disease. It is a full time job being a patient advcate, doing research, being in tune with our body's signals and following heathy habits which is a struggle some days. Sending you all a big hug and blessings where ever you are in your journey. Also a big thank you for the support of this board. Sandy

Sandy, I am so thrilled to hear the good news about you reaching your 6 year anniversary with ibc. In part you are able to celebrate this milestone because of the great advocate you are for yourself. Of course a great medical team helps as well! I am glad this past year was so good to you and I wish you many many good years in your long future ahead. You truly are an inspiration to so many.

Thanks for all your nice posts. To answer Becky's question about the green shoes-no I did not wear them! I wanted to but our weather was such that I did not leave the house all day. Stayed home cooked, and made phone calls. It snowed all night and than turned to rain and sleet. My husband spent all afternoon plowing heavy wet snow. I know I will wear them soon because I just love them and they are so comfortable. The weather will be warm here soon. hugs, Sandy
