    Good Job, Buddy!

    I appreciate your sensitivity, Jeff...but, the needs of the many - are greater than the needs of the few - or the one...

    May the winds of fortune continue to blow your way:)

    I was hoping you would post clean...I had a feeling good news would be coming.  Thanks for sharing your good news with the group, they need to hear it:)

    Take care and hang another good one up there in a few months!

    Great news, Jeff!  We share your joy. Good news is always welcome, especially on a day like yesterday when we learned of Steve's death. Both have a place here. 

    I hope that you celebrate and savor this news.  I am so happy for you and those you love.

    Enjoy NED!

    The news about Steved made it

    The news about Steved made it hard to post. I knew he was in bad shape but he still passed so suddenly. It was a real shock to me.

    Congrats on your scan being

    Congrats on your scan being clean!  I will get my final treatment on the 17th and then get my PET scan on the 27th.  I'm hoping for good news too!!

    I am really happy for you

    I am really happy for you finaly reaching the finish line. It is such a good feeling to get the pump disconnected for the final time. Although beware that it is common to have a feeling of emptiness after treatment is done and you are not receiving the constant care and attention from doctors and nurses. It's happened to me on a few occassions. It seems so odd and is something they don't prepare you for.

    Odd

    It's so strange you just wrote that about the end of treatment.  My husband had his last (hopefully) treatment yesterday, what a letdown. I don't know what we were expecting, but we both left a little sad and irritated, me probably more than him.  We've been asking for several weeks about what happens next and the onc. kept saying "We'll review it at his last treatment"  Well, the onc. was on vacation so we had a new onc who didn't even introduce herself.  The notes in his file said "Review followup care wtih patient and wife" with no followup notes written.  Also, different answers on port flushing irritated me since they kept talking over me when I was asking them to be specific - I'm no medical professional but want to get it right since my husband has major chemo brain lately.  They scheduled a followup in 6 weeks with regular onc. and port will get flushed then.  Hopefully they will be prepared to discuss the future.

    Thanks for letting us know it's not unusual to feel this way.

    The cr@p with the onc

    The cr@p with the onc unfortuntaely isn't unusual either. I changed oncologist becaus of stuff like that. The onc I have been seeing for the past 1 1/2 years is at a major NCI hospital which is where I had all my surgeries. I actually think the communication or lack ther of is worse. I know they are all probobly overwhelmed but why don't they realize how we feel. Quite frankly is sucks. Keep pushing them for answers. I know I drive my doctors crazy at times but it's MY life that is at stake.

    Wonderful

    You should always share good news.  It gives people hope and I'm so glad for your test results.  I'm sure that the waiting time is stressful for the news and I'm always a basket case for a month or more.  Yipeeee to you and go out and celebrate.  You can do the naked happy dance :)

    It's good to hear from you

    It's good to hear from you Donna. I was concerned about you since it has been a while. I certainly understand the lurking with so many lost loved ones. What a brutal disease we have to constantly deal with even when we are doing well physically.
