    Hi Matt,

    I too am one of those who were here when it was during your treatment.  I came aboard after you in Sept of '11.  It's good to see the oldtimers still posting and giving support to those who are new here.  I know I needed all your help when it was  my turn to complain about the treatments.

    Congratulations of the NED report. We all know just how important getting the clear light is. Like you, mine hasn't returned yet either, and I am hopeful it never will.  It is out of our hands and all we can do is hope and pray for a decent future.

    Rest easy and enjoy the holidays,

    Tom

    Congratulations

    Great to hear more NED reports. I received my 5 Year  ack in May and the Doc told me "Come & see me if you get any symptoms. And, I hope to not see you again!

    So far so good.

    Not Long for us Matt

    Hey Matt - well congrats on your 4.5 years NED (although its probably more like 4.7 now...)!

    You and I must have got on our respective buses at a very similar time. My original lump appeared in September 2011, but my doctors had a hard time diagnosing me and I actually didn't get the official cancer verdict until March 2012 when they removed my 'cyst', which turned out to have cancer cells in it. So my 5 years is up in March 2017. Technically my primary is still unknown (it was supposed to be in a salivary gland somewhere) but it has never appeared! One more MRI scan to go for me, if thats clear then I'll be officially cured - guess its the same kind of thing for you?

    Lets hope we both get there without any drama...Cool

    Cheers

    Leo

    Hi Matt

     

    That is some wonderful news my friend to hear NED after 4 ½ years. Life is so wonderful and so good, even with all my bad days and good days just being with my grandchildren makes it all worth everything I been through.

    NED

    Way to go Matt!!!!!!!! It's 7 years today that my surgeon gave me a chin wedgy. Well he never admitted it. But I did ask him when he did the full neck disection if he pilled my neck skin over my chin and bottom lip. He just smiled and looked away.

    WOW 4.5 years maybe I will slow up to allow you to catch up.

    Life is good
