Added A New Dance Partner

in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Greetngs everyone.

I saw my ENT today for the periodic exam. She did the usual poke, prod and scoping procedures. When she was done she told me everything looked great and handed me a collar pin. The pin marks the five year point from the end of treatment.

Then she told me that we could now view the cancer as cured.

Now I have another dance partner added to my dance card. In addition to my old partner NED, I've added the partner CURED.

It's been a long road to get to this day, but it was all worth it. A special thanks to all my old friends here who helped me through the fog of treatment and the slow pace of recovery, and a prayer for those old friends who couldn't be here to share this day.

Happy Dance!

Rush

    Happy Dance you bet.....

    CURED trumps NED and everything else. What a nice reward for going down that road and fighting the beast, CURED! It is so good to hear when some gets to that stage. Please celebrate for all of us.

    CURED, has a nice ring to it

    Rush,

    Congratulations on reaching the PINnacle of year five of post treatment. Hearing cured is a big mouthful or in our case a big H&N full.
