Just got back from onc follow-up.......wait for it..... wait for it....

I AM IN REMISSION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful thing. So my dear, dear family. Thank you! I'm not going anywhere, I'm still staying with you all and I thank you for the love, prayers, support - all of it. You are truly an amazing bunch and you have lifted me up so many times that it humbles me. I only hope I can in some small way reciprocate. We will continue this journey together. Love and prayers to all and the big hope and prayer for your own Remission!

Love,
Donna

    Sue,
    I heard that commercial late last night. I have no idea what they were advertising,I was on the computer and heard them say it. Nothing like a boob tube education. Who would have ever thunk it!!!! John(FNHL-1-4A-5/10)

    Thank you all so much for your kind words of encouragement and love. This journey is so hard - I know that right now I'm on a straight path and I'm so grateful for that. I pray that you all find yourself in Remission ! I pray for a long remission - long enough for the researchers to find a cure!! But.. the reality is this dreaded disease might rear it's ugly head again. But when it does I'm ready for the battle!

    I truly couldn't have done this without all of you at my side. Last week was so so painful with the passing of my dear friend. I feel so sad and so mad at this stupid disease. It may turn out that something else ended his life, but NHL was certainly part of it. REALLY pisses me off.

    So guys, lets just keep fighting. We can beat this damn thing! I don't know why we are saddled with this but I do know that I wouldn't want to be traveling this road with anyone else.

    Love,
    Donna

    WOW!
    Donna, SUCH gooder news cannot be heard!
    Congratulations with whipped cream on top!
    I know how it feels -- and it's GREAT!
    So glad to hear. I wish you a speeder recovery from the past 7 months.
    Recovery is so much gooder than treatment.

    We will roam the board together, along with all of the other remissioners.

    And Sue, I am STILL anxious to hear your own experience 18th - 25th. The trend is good. The vibe is right.

    Best to All,
    Tom (DLBCL-Stage 4-7/10-Remission)
