It's Been A Long Long Time

Hello everyone. My computer's hard drive recently crashed, big time, and I've been rebuilding everything and was overtaken with this tremendous urge to post on this board that was so very surportive of me when I was care giver to both my husband and mother, each diagnosed with cancer a year apart from each other. Old timers, you all remember me but for the newbies, my name is Monika and my 50 year old husband Bert was diagnosed stage III, 4 nodes, right sided colon cancer June 8, 2003 with surgery July 8 followed by six months of 5fu/leuc and another six months of 5fu/leuc/oxi. I just wanted to report that on July 8, 2007, my Bert has remained four years cancer free and is doing very, very well. We will be moving to Colorado shortly, into the dream home that we had built and have always wanted and we are both now retired and living each day to the fullest. Did cancer have anything to do with all of this? You bet. If nothing else, it sure put things into perspective and made us realize how precious each and every day is and that not a single one should be wasted or wished away, no matter how good or bad; and to never, ever, if possible, put your dreams off until tomorrow as their are no guarantees. I hope that many, if not all of you, will be posting here in the future as well of your success stories. Remember, although it is and can be a very tough fight, it is winable and with the great cheering and rooting section of this board in your court, the chances for success are very high. God Bless you all and know that a cure for cancer, all kinds, is always in my prayers. Fondest regards, Monika
