5 years ago

Hello everyone and seasons greetings!

It has occured to me today that 5 years ago in December 2014 my husband had a surgery to remove kidney cancer. I still remember the date - December 15, the day doctors saved his life. 

He was Stage 1 Grade 1, clear cell, currently NED. Even had an unplanned/unscheduled NED in November - had to get chest x-ray due to persistent cough. Doc was checking for pneumonia, but I was mainly worried for mets. All clear :-)

I was pregnant at the time of his diagnosis and surgery. Now our daughter Alice is 4,5 years old, so loving, smart, kind and beautiful!

Can’t believe how fast time flies. These 5 years feel like 2 years max :-). I still remember vividly reading this board through the nights after dignosis, all pages, all posts... It was my lifeline!

So after 5 years I am still SO THANKFUL to you all, so happy and lucky that I’ve found you during the darkest moment of our lives.

Thank you all! Those who are NED - please keep NEDing :-) Those who are not - please keep being stable and live full lives. Dear newbies - it is not a death sentence, and yes - scanxiety gets a bit better with time.

Iceman - special THANK YOU to you, the first one to greet me here and to say that its gonna be allright. Please be all right as well!

Love you guys. Thank you! Let’s keep fighting, living and loving!
