I had my checkup with my oncologist last week. He said my bloodwork looked good. I'm to have a CAT scan in August. If it is clear, then no more scans just chest x-rays. Very happy about this. Cancer free for 3 years.

    Hi Tiny

    You see that? That's the cancer in your rear-view mirror - it's looking to be a distant memory every day for you - 3 years is terrific - all the signs are looking good for you.

    Just wanted to say Hi and wish you well:)

    Forgot to mention about the new pup I have. He is a 4 month old Min Schnauzer. He is a rescue pup. Owners got him first and didn't ask their landlord. He is so full of energy and is always into mischief. I think puppy classes are in order. My older Schnauzer is not very about him but is not quite as snappish to him. Craiq how is your new baby?

    Our Dogs - Partners in Crime?
    Well, these 2 must be related - trouble and mischief combined with high energy - yep, he'a been a handful but he's got moments when he's a blessing too:)

    He's coming along just fine, very healthy. His growth is phenomenal - growin' like a weed:)

    He's developing great and from what I can see, agility could be his thing - he's super fast and has got some great moves, he'll fake you right out of your shoes, LOL:)

    Harley is 4 1/2 months now and up to 38 lbs. now - he's like a video camera - the eyes are always on watching and puttin' it all together.

    Obedience is in the works for him too - we took him to the dog park for the 1st time this past weekend - it was fun to see him running around - think he got overwhelmed and spent after awhile, but a great first time.

    I'm so glad that you got you a new one too. Sounds like yours will be a joy to you as well - ah, the puppy days, huh? They grow up so fast, mine is a "little" golden retriever, he's a pup in his mind, but his body is just taking off. I'm going to post some more pics in about 6-weeks when he reaches 6-months old. There are a couple out on my page right now.

    Take a pic and put it out on your expressions page - I'd like to see your new baby:)

    Really happy for your good news and your latest "arrival." I hope it's clear sailing ahead - it sure sounds like it - hope to join you shortly.

    That's GREAT news!
    Stats

    That's GREAT news!

    Stats show 80% of recurrence happen within the first 14 months to 2 (or three) years (depending on who is asked) so sounds like the CURED word is not far behind!
