I have to say, out of all (okay like 3) of my online support groups, you ladies are my favorite! I so wish I would have found this site when I started treatment instead of when I was ending it...

Thank you again for your responses, I feel a little better.

My Mother (a 3.5year lung cancer survivor) made me laugh today. She said " we all know that we could walk out of the house, get into our cars and get into a car accident or get hit by a truck but we dont stop driving or walking around. You should "get a clue" (she actually said that) Start living your life, you are alive. You have done everything possible to treat this. Good job. Now, more smiles". She's a funny one. Love her to pieces

Darlene - Ummmmm, YAY!!! SO glad you are done! and I really hope that your excitement stays with you

and yes, we all have a lot to be thankful for!
