Yay
This is the kind of good news that never gets old. It brings joy every time. Glad you got such a favorable report. Hope you keep on recovering well. I'm seven months out, and am still sensitive to spicy foods - but can now eat mild salsa (couldn't eat catsup at first), so I'm sure you'll be able to eat more soon. There's a lot of spicy food where you live, isn't there?

Impressed, way to go!
Jimbo, you are doing unbelievably well...good for you and yours!
Your photo reminds me all the time how much I want to get up to Sequoia Natl. Park next year...I grew up in Visalia and I miss those mountains!

I'm with you on the spicy foods. I miss those too.

Keep on truckin' brother!

Chuck.

Great to hear. If you're like me, will only take a couple more months befoe the spicy foods come back into your life. And, uh, how many blocks are 3 miles? I usually get-in around 15 blocks a day. Course I walk, and not very far each time, but it adds-up. Wow- 3 miles! Awesome.

NED is making me cry.
I think it is relief, or some sort of release...but I am really crying...and I am at work...sh*t...got to get it together. I feel such joy when I hear of NED being a part of someone's life but in the past weeks when I read these marvelous posts I just start to cry.

Jimbo, this is a great step, and your experience with treatment and recovery sounds a lot like Mark's.

That is exactly how I feel. Mark's PET is November 9th and I never know how much I am containing my feelings until there is a NED report...and it all comes out. I should know better than to read this site at work.

Jimbo, EMBRACE this fantastic news, and if you cannot eat spice...maybe you can find another way to spice things up. Live.

Kim,
I know exactly how you
Kim,

I know exactly how you feel. Pat's PET is November 10 and I am so anxious and emotional. Good luck on Mark's scan. Can't wait to hear NED from you.

Thanks
A big thank you to everyone for their good wishes.

Pam, yes to say there is a lot of spicy food here is, well, a bit of an understatement. Really limits my food choices when we go out to eat.

Chuck, I took my wife to Sequoia in February, it was her first time to experience snow (and learn about snowballs!).

Kim & Mark, you guys were my 'guiding light' so to speak, being a week or so ahead of me. Somehow I jumped the queue and am leading the way now. We're had parallel journeys so far and I'm really hoping the NED comes through for you next week.

Cheers

Jimbo
