Hello Everyone !

Today Rolie and I celebrate our silver anniversary !  25 yrs together !  It's been a exciting and sometimes bumpy ride.  I also am celebrating 2 yrs. of being dx'd with adenoid cystic carcinoma.  And still fighting the good fight.  For the past two yrs. it's been a wild ride of what if's and waiting for the other shoe to drop.  I have let depression creep in this yr. a bit because for the last two Decembers our holidays were spent in the hospital with me recovering from surgeries.  I was a bit sneeky this yr. and put out my re-check til the middle of Dec.  I won't let this disease control my life.  Today we embrace the happiness of another wonderful year together, and put the stress of our illnesses on the back burner for today !  Hugs sent out to all !  And to the new members please live, laugh and love and know we stand together always !  Katie

    congrats!

    Katie,

    Congratulations on 25. Over that many years together, life certainly does have its ups and downs but being able to enjoy the best and rough stuff over the years shows the depth and stregth of your committment to each other. My wife and I have been together now 35 years and getting through this cancer patch certainly has been stressful at times but could not think of a better partner for the journey. best to you! Don

    Sweet Katie

    Katie,

    We are all about anniversaries here, 3, 6, 9, 12 month, 2, 3, 4, 5 years, lump found, dx, post treatment, scans, appointments, swallowing, food, abi-normal, H&N forum….to name a few.

    Now anniversaries for love, which is indeed special and deserves a good, shout out.  Congratulations!

    If you can get that depression to follow you up to Phrannie’s barn, we will rope and tie it and get rid of it for you.

    Keep enjoying the good things!

    Matt

    CONGRATS

    Katie, congrats on 25. My wife and I hit the 25 yr mark this past April. Hell, 25 yrs of marriage is hard enough without tossing cancer into the mix. I could not agree more with your decision to put anything C related on the back burner. Live each day "your way" and you drive the cancer bus, never let it drive you.

    All the best!!

    Mike

    Dang, I thought you were barely over that age... You sure you weren't married at 10 years old... Tongue Out
