If I can do it so can you

in Head and Neck Cancer #1

I've been saying for quite some time now that if I can do it anybody can do it. Yesterday I went to see my surgeon for my 5 year check up. He scoped me and said I am officially cured.

So again I say..............."If I can do it anybody can"

I may even pull out my radiation mask on March 30th (my 5 year anniversary of completing radiation) remove the mouth piece and wear it all day. That should go over big when I walk into the bank.

My wife was correct after the doc said I was cured when she added I was only cured of cancer. Guess who's Abi-Normal and proud of it?.................that's right this guy.

 

Life is good................enjoy the day..................I do, every one of them.

    Hi Jeff

     

    Glad to hear the good report, I like all the reports that has words like NED, Cured, No C, Clean, Nothing there, the one I like most is when my PET does not show any red area..  I do believe that all things are possible

    What is better than NED.......Officially cured, is best !

    Way to go Jeff, you fought the beast and kicked it's butt, and came out the VICTOR. You had it rough, but took it day by day and are Victorious. Comgratulations and cellabrate. 

    Also, thank you for being here and help so many by being an insperation and showing it can be beat. Your kind words helped me in my beginning as did your support.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    enjoy the day

    Jeff,

    I look forward to standing in your (be them big) 5 yr shoes, congratulations.

    Rumor has it that you were still telling “one liners” even with your mouth piece in.

    You can bend my abi-normal ear anytime.

    Matt

    Cured

    Officially cured. What a great day! I will be watching the news on March 30th to see what happens to the guy who wears a mask to the bank! It's obvious that your sense of humor also helped you reach this point. Thanks for sharing your story.
