And I'm so thankful that your scan shows "stable." Wow, 320+ treatments - that is astounding. I hope you are still doing well with the treatments. Your story has given me such hope and reassurance. I love to hear it every time you post. I hope you stay stable until you are cured. Best wishes to you.

Great news! That's the thing, if you've never battled cancer you might not know that being chronic and stable is some of the best news you can hope for.
Thank you for sharing, this bring a smile to my night :-)

Thanks for the update - you
Thanks for the update - you are an inspiration. Your mindset is great, it makes me wonder about the beginning. Did you think in the beginning that you'd still be here today helping others cope? How did your family handle it? I feel like my husband handles it better than I do most times. He says he doesn't think about it any more than absolutely necessary and feels he just has to trust the doctors to do the right thing. I wish I could be so trusting, but I feel like I want to question everything the doctor says/does.

woohoo!
Phil - I am so happy to hear things are stable ... I know you must not be very excited to think of this as a chronic condition - but chronic, in this case, is truly a blessing. You, my friend, have played your poor hand very well ... to the tune of many years and hopefully many more to come.

All the best.

stable is good
Stable is good - and your CEA is great!

If you are feeling beat up, why not take a couple weeks off over the holidays and then resume? Quality of life counts too. My last chemo combo almost killed me. I'm stopping for now.
