Celebrating with you my dear friend!
Have a wonderful day LP2!!!
Thanks so much for helping me over the years, you know you are one of the key contributors to the positives in my journey. I think it is so cool that a few of the best friends I have now I met on this site many years ago.
See you in Chicago and cheers my friend!

That's so wonderful!
I know that you and Lisa (Scouty) did your alternative cures together back in the day when even less of us were surviving. It's your stories that encourage us, and keep us fighting. Living proof that no matter what stage you are, you can survive! There are more of you out there than i think is realized on this board, since so few come back to tell their tale. Thank you for inspiring us!
Diagnosed stage IIIc August, 2007. Diagnosed stage IV May, 2010 with two recurrences back to back. NED for ten months, and counting!

Neat idea!
What a wonderful thing to do, Graci! It sounds difficult, but it would be an awesome tribute to those who've survived, and to those who didn't. So many have passed away just since i joined in 2007, there were many more who died before then. It would be nice to see some of their old posts.
Many hugs, and good luck with it!

#9 is certainly a good number for you:)
Congratulations on this milestone - must be very liberating to look back at where you were - and where you are now.
I've been fighting constantly 7-years, (Stage IV now) - I'm in the other club - the Long Term Actively Fighting Group. Two different sub-sets from the same community, but equally important to those who are fighting Cancer as they can see the side that has made it and the other side where long-termers are fighting to make it.
Kudos to you!

Hi Lisa, I havn't ever
Hi Lisa,
I havn't ever posted on this site but I have been on here everyday since diagnosis Aug of last year..
I was diagnosed whilst 4 months pregnant with baby number 2 :( I have a 16 month baby also.
Dr thought my cancer was early stage as it was only just T2 but after surgery it was found to be in 11 lymph nodes...I am only 27
But to cut a long story short I wanted to write to you today to say thank you!!! Your story brought me sooo much hope when everything in my life seemed to be doomed!!! Your situation of 10 years cancer free with 10 positive nodes gave me hope that I too maybe around to see my beautiful babies grow up!!! Thats all I want in life and even if I only get 10 more years at least my babies will get to know me..
Thank you for giving me hope!!!!
Thank you for giving me inspiration!!!!!

What else did you do to help your get over this ?
Hi Lisa Rose.
I am curious if you followed any alternative treatments / diet etc which you think helped you get through and be a long term survivor.
Congratulations and happy to see you here. You are certainly an inspiration.

Thank you for sharing your great news - you have heartened me so much. I was diagnosed last July with stage 3, with 3 out of 21 lymph nodes affected. I finished my last chemo cycle last week but can't help but thinking 'What next....?'
Your story has filled me with hope! I feel renewed positive thoughts and am determined not to let this get me down any more!!!
Thanks again
