Hey Everyone,

I am not a very eloquent writer nor am I able to convey my feelings as well as many of you do here. However I do want to let every one of you know how important a role each of you has played in the last year of my life. From coming to the aid of those that are down (myself included) to celebrating the little victories and helping with any questions, you guys are always here. I consider a lot of you as close friends and just wanted to say thanks for all of the support over the last year!

Today I got news of "all clear" for my one-year pet. I am more relieved than anything, not really celebrating. As soon as I got the news today I was very happy, but immediately I was thinking more of the ones still waiting for their results and those that have received not so good news lately. My best wishes to all those!

As always, Positive thoughts to everyone here!

Love you guys!

Greg

    "I am not a very eloquent writer nor am I able to convey my feelings as well as many of you do here."

    But can you fish, that's my question....LOL.

    Just kidding, I know you try....

    Very cool on the all clear, always good to hear...

    I also have a hard time posting positive things at times, especially when those that are close on here are battling their own issues... But if we only saw and heard the negative things it would be very hard to come on here often.

    Plus it's the combination of both and especially the wins, and positives that give hope and faith to us all.

    Best,
    John

    Greg, when I read the other day of your PS/CT, I had thought about a reply that I knew it would be good, because St.Louis has enough problems, already, since opening day of the 2011 season, but thought better of it! This is no little victory, my friend- it's almost as bigtime great news for all of us as it is for you. It's the kinda news that'd even be celebrated on the north side of Chicago- it is! Bigtime congratulations.

    Hi, Greg. Congratulations on your one year clean PET. I am happy for you. Please don't ever hesitate to post good news like this. Be proud of it. Most of us here eagerly await good news like this because it is a boost for us. Best of luck now and in the future. By the way, I just came back clean today also.

    Greg, you said it very well.
    Tears in my eyes because I know exactly how you feel. Your words touched that place that knows all to well what goes on here, and what a tremendous difference it makes for those who go through this fight.
    You were always a bit ahead of Mark, so we stepped most closely in the foot prints that you left. You were/are a good guide, and Mark recieved good news from his scope on Wednesday, the 1 year anniversary of being diagnosed.
    Thanks...right back at ya!

    Congratulations! I was thinking about you the other day when I was watching my Giants slap around your boys. Nice to read that some things are working out for you. Live long brother.

    Dunno how to fish.....
    At least that's what I tell my wife. Then in the next breathe I tell her, the only way I'm gonna learn is to practice, practice, practice. In fact going out Saturday for some practice (crappie - specs to you southern boys).

    I'll make it down your way one of these days and we'll go after some big ones or more importantly... tell some big fish tales.

    Thanks Bro'!

    Take me out to the ball game...
    Nice Harry Carey reference (who you stole from the Cards as well). Thanks Kent! Means a lot hearing from you. I'm in good company this month with you, Charles, Roger and hope for some more.

    Hey, Cards just cut Edmonds again, Cubbies gonna sign him, he's only 63 or so??

    Thanks Hondo. Makes me feel even better if I brought a smile to your face (or a dance to your feet).

    Hi Kim
    Kim,

    Love the pic! You two look great. And of course you know who I was talking about when I was speaking of eloquent writers. Yes I came on a little before you, but I don't know who led who on this site. You've always known how to say just the right thing. Great to hear the good news on Mark!

    Keep on enjoying life!

    Man, stooping down to Kent's level now, huh?? Picking on my poor Cards. Well there's always football (Rams....nevermind) or hockey (Blues....forget it). Ok, I'll go back to hiking and fishing.

    Thanks!
