To Chrisy
Thank you for your very humorous posting. I am the type of person that can actually laugh and try to find humor in this disease (as much as I hate it, so I can appreciate a funny story when I hear one.
It sounds like you did great on your treatments. Have you been off of chemo since, if so that is wonderful and keep up the good work.
I was also thinking the same thing (at least hoping) since I came through the first treatment fairly well with no nausea, that the rest might be the same.
I have been very lucky in that sense so far.
Yes, 10 -20 more years. That is my request to the man above. If I am asking I am asking big time. I want to see great-grandchildren one day.With any luck, I will and it won't be because I have not tried everthing out there possible of course with lot's of faith and prayers also.
Thanks for your response Chrisy.
Good luck to you
