in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Hello.  Wow, it's been awhile since I have stopped by.  I miss you all and just wanted to share that this month marks my 5 year clean anniversary.

 

Like many, I have my share of side affects, but at the end of the day I get to lie down and go to sleep after spending the day with those I love.

 

I'm still in Alaska and this is where I hope to live a long life and die.  Can you believe I went dog mushing?  Yep, sure did.  

 

To all those in the fight, stay strong. You are not alone.

 

Whispered prayers for all

 

Best,

 

Tim Cogdill

    nice post

    Tim,

    Look what dropped in, my Erbitux brother.

    5 years is good, and my next milestone number.

    Your biggest side effect was moving to Alaska.  Mush on to many years ahead.

    Good to Hear from You

    Hey Tim,

    We go back my friend.  I thought you were in Idaho but must have missed the memo.  Like you, I try to pop in once in awhile to see how everyone is doing and also to see if someone has my rare cancer type.  Glad it's all working out for you.  Your attitude and prayer club was much appreciated.

    Tom

    Wow!

    I stick my nose in this forum, which I rarely do and look who was here.  Congrats, Tim I am so glad you are happy and doing well.  Time sure flies, remember I had my final rad on the day that you joined the forum.  We were the Erbitux pioneers, acne and all :).  

    John
