    Thank you so much for posting this!  How wonderful it is to hear that someone is a 26-year survivor!  I am coming up on 7.5 years and hearing this gives me a lot of encouragement.  I would be curious to know what type of post-treatment issues this person is dealing with.

    Wow!

    Thanks so much for sharing this.  It will be a nice fact to recall on those days when I brood about what this has done to my life expectancy!  Maybe I will get to see my grandchildren off to the prom after all!
