It's been a while since I lurked or posted. There are a whole bunch of unfamiliar names and faces. However, you are all family. I am constantly saddened to hear of new diagnoses of this stupid disease; it sucks! But I just want to send out encouragement and prayers for everyone. If my CT goes according to my plans, I will officially be 5 years clear at the end of the month. If not...well... But hey! I'm planning on good news only!
Everyone take care of yourselves. Although I don't come here often anymore, I pray for all cancer sufferers and their families and caretakers every day. You are all awesome!
Hugs,
Kirsten

    Hi Lisa,

    Thanks for the congratulations! It has not been a road I would have chosen to travel, but I have met angels along the way, many of them on this board. I will try to check in more often. Finally got a job and life has normalized a lot. What's a little leftover neuropathy anyway, huh? LOL! Stay strong and keep the faith.

    Kristen

    Just finishing Folfox and starting the 3 month scans. You give us inspiration and courage. Having a 2nd cancer and now cancer free you truly give all of us hope.
