A tad early but my birthday is the 23rd and I will not be around so I needed to take a moment and celebrate your birthday with you now. Happy 60th Birthday My friend!! Your post made me smile outloud and gave me the boost I so needed just like many others here. Ed has inflammatory also and this moment in time he is on a 'chemo vacation' so his body may recover a bit, when we know where we are at...we will take it from there. No NED yet but you have inspired us truely by hearing this journey outloud. I want to thank you for the uplifting and inspirational post, I cannot imagine being on chemo that long. You are a true Warrior and a very special hero to me, Vickie. I am so pleased to hear the contentment in your voice and the strength behind it. I am excited myself just to be here another day so that I can celebrate my own life and the lives of people I love. Keep them birthdays coming.>>Believe51

PS: I may not be around on the 22nd but I will surely have a small special cake with your name written on it. I will make a wish for you as I blow out the candles; I know what that wish will be!!!!
