    What great news!
    Lisa,

    Grateful, blessed, and scared! I can understand you being all of these at once! You've got the right attitude. Live life to its fullest. Take care of yourself and do what you can to minimize the possibility of a recurrence but don't worry yourself about it.

    Be well... Rob; in Vancouver

    Great News
    That is such great news ! Would you mind sharing more details ? I have been doing chemo for the last year, and am still considered not a candidate for surgery. Have had a good response to chemo and still feel good.

    Your story gives me hope. Enjoy your good news.

    "Outstanding"?-sorry for this one:
    I was riding one day years ago thru farm country and noticed this farmer standing out in his field, looking up with arms outstretched. I watched him for a while and then continued on my way. On my way back, several hours later, i passed the same farmer standing the same weay out in his field. I stopped, watched awhile and then called out to him,asking what he was doing.
    He yelled back:"I'm trying to win the Nobel Prize."
    I yelled:"What do you mean?" to which the farmer replied:
    "I heard the Nobel Prize goes to those out standing in their field."


    Maybe someone will get a brief laff out of this and yes, Lisa R,"Live life to the fullest"
