Congrats!
Congrats on a one year anniversary dennis!
That is not an achievement to be taken likely in the cancer world.
I salute you for your toughness and your determination and your very will!
In the meantime, I am not experienced with your particular cancer and can only tell you that over time things have progressed in a positive way for me. I am not doing what I was the day before I called my doctor about the bump on my tongue (eating steak, potatoes, green beans and bread), but I am doing a heckuva lot more than I was five and half years ago when I made that called, even a lot more than I was doing as recently as a year ago.
We DO continue to evolve, dennis, and that is our promise, that is our great hope. Maybe we will not be what we were (maybe we don't want to be what we were before), but maybe in our evolution, we can discover new and good, even better things about ourselves. I have found, to put it in simple terms, that I like to eat a lot of things I hated five years ago. Strange, but an interesting and promising development: this means that I have new places to explore, new foods, new tastes.
Life is about change, about evolving.
Best wishes in your continued evolution, dennis, and again, congrats on the anniverary!
Take care,

Anniversary
Congratulations, Dennis, on your first anniversary. I am sorry to hear about your continued problems, but as others have said, many things get better with time. Reading about your issues makes me a bit ashamed about any whining I may have done about the leftover issues I have from my treatments. You are obviously a fighter and I wish you all the best for the future. Hang tough. Every year is another victory.0 -

Dennis,
Think of all the milestones we strive to reach during this journey. One year post treatment is a big one. I said in another post somewhere that cancer will be a passanger we carry with us as we journey forward in life. Even as caretaker, entwined with Mark, I carry this passenger. There is not a day when it is not present in our lives. I only hope that as we all travel forward in life this passenger becomes lighter and lighter. Dennis, this is my wish for you.

Brother Dennis
Congratulations Dennis! I'm very close to your time. My issues are different than yours, and yours are a little tougher, but I salute you for keeping on when recovery is very hard. I also get very tired of the new me sometimes, but like you I'm hoping the next year will bring new me some improvement.
best, Hal0 -
Hi Dennis
The only good thing in life sometimes are friends and here on CSN we have so many. I too wish that someday we can all meet each other as there are a lot of people here that I have learned so much from in my walk with C.
I hope that 2011 will be a better year for you then 2010 and I hope and pray that all your reports will be NED. You are now and will always be a dear friend my mine.

I truly admire your strength & feel guilty when I complain about my issues. I could never have worked while getting treatment's & I did have the support of my family. I wish you my
best for 2011 Dennis & I pray that you find a job where your employer truly appreciates you
for all that you have to offer.
God Bless
