Thanx Twinnytwinthings said:Bottoms up
Oh Happy Day!! What wonderful news, fox!
There aren't enough words to sum up what an inspiration you are to me. Your positive outlook (coupled with your humor) has had a positive effect on me and I thank you for that. I couldn't be happier for your good news!
I think pizza and beer are what's for supper. I'll raise my bottle to you and Djinnie and Jojo, for all of you have recent good reports to celebrate.
Cheers!
I think you are the inspiration for many. You pushed when so many times when you were told no. You are on top of your game. You will be where I am in another year or so. There is just so much adversity in the way. It's all about moving forward regardless of the obstacles. Look at the UCONN men. That is belief in reaching the goal.

That's great news foxhd..many many more stable scans are on the way!!..
we can ask for, right strongmind? I reminded my Doctor that when we first met, she said to me," If we can't cure you, would you be happy if we kept you stable?" She says, "I said that?" Then she gave me my hug. What a great woman.

What amazing news Fox, you have worked bloody hard for it! You serve to inspire the rest of the team!I am so excited for you:) if you are offerring pizza, I'm in, especially if it's a Chicargo Pizza, not so keen on the beer but a glass of St. Emillion will do nicely, CHEERS!
Djinnie xx
You need a new name. Like Jacque, the supporter. I hope the Karma rubs off on you. I shoot you some everyday. And since I poured you a beer, and I wouldn't want to throw it out, and no one else is here, and I am thirsty, and ....
More importantly, you get better.

Here's my advice, I am alive,I am alive said:you're a ROCK STAR Fox!!
And an inspiration to the rest of us. (I'm gonna go exercise today, thinking of you as my example) Congratulations on a fantastic year,with many more to come!
Only exercise so hard that if you miss a few days you don't loose ground. I can see me getting very busy this summer and missing alot.

Probably a monthAPny said:On a related note, how long
On a related note, how long after your surgery before you had a glass of wine or a bottle beer? I'm nearly a month out but still afraid to indulge. And I'd love to toast Fox with a glass of wine tonight
I didn't have much interest at first. But I've caught up Apny.

Lets not forgeticemantoo said:Pictures
If any of you gals besides Alex or any of the guys want to add a picture of your beer and pizza for the toast to Fox don't let me stop you.
I am sure Fox would appreciate it.

I am not NED. Probably will never happen. But this is close. Every other day or so, I just crash out. I still get so tired. I need my naps. But I don't mind. It has become a good excuse for being lazy when I need it. Like anything, as more experience builds, there becomes a comfort level that comes with it. I think about cancer all the time just like everyone else does. But I can do it with optimism. I guess we celebrate the little victories and appreciate them. We do this together. I think about my early initiation and don't remember having someone I could look at with hope. It was scarey. If my progress gives hope to others, I could not be happier.
Share the pizza and beer!...and the Karma too!

What you said about thinking about cancer but "I can do it with optism" is how my life has changed since coming to this forum. Thank you for the hope you bring to us caretakers. I am very grateful. I will share the pizza (but not the beer. Mine, all mine!!)

I would give anything to have your incredible attitude and outlook. I'm hoping to get there one day. You're truly an inspiration.

Practice, practice, practice. I've repeated this story often. Back when I was about 18-20, I made a decision to avoid negativism. When asked, "How are you?" So many people say, "Not bad." I think "Gee, I wish things were worse for you. Then maybe you'd be happy." I never, never, never respond not bad. I always say "Excellent" or "wonderful" or "outstanding" or "awesome". Something of the such. It sets the tone for maintaining enthusiasm. Just do it. Repetition creates the norm and an expected outcome. UCONN men just proved it. Coach Kevin Ollie does this better than anyone. So, when someone asks how I am, and I answer "Great", I reciprocate and ask them how they are. If I get a response of "Great", I say "Good for us!" It's amazing the positive energy that gets created. They always smile, laugh, or their faces lighten up with a feel good look. It is as if they have never experienced such an affirmative interaction. Blows my mind every time. And I do this every day. Its free and its easy...I have to admit that I may not have felt so enthusiastic during my Il-2 treatments. But I deserved some slack on that one.

yes, Fox, I think you deserve some slack and then some, for your IL2 Treatment; having not just the physical side during treatment, the recovery but psychotic episodes most clearly qualifies you for slack.
