Tricia,

Thanks for your sharing your good news. Some people may not like sharing their age, but it puts things in perspective for me. You were 55 at your DX and 22years later you are still here. You described a roller coaster, which was probably not always fun. But your warm spirit shines thru and I think you enjoy life even when you are in the middle of a fight!!!!!

I am 59 and 22 years from now I will be 81 and I hope that I am still here. In fact I think I will take a nice cruise for my 80th birthday. I love to travel.

Keep up the good fight. I can see you at dinner enjoying the steak and crab legs.

All the best, Catherine
