    this is great news and I am jealous. I wish I were jealous of every single woman on this board.

    Good Care

    Colleen,

    I personally have done nothing special. I had a fantastic onc/gyn surgeon, IP treatment, wonderful husband, and I guess God isn't finished with me yet.Smile

    I am thankful for everyday and try to live it to the fullest.....that doesn't mean that I don't have scary fearful thoughts

    every now and then...LOL

    ((HUGS)) Joan

    P.S. I do try to eat a little chocolate everyday
