18 Months celebration
 |
Oct 24, 2015 - 10:17 am
Today I am 18 months NED. I have found myself a little treat (OK, its a braclet, and maybe a little more than I should be spending, but...) to celebrate; BUT, I can't bring myself to buy it yet, because I am getting my CEA checked and get my results on the 2nd Nov, and then, when all is well, I will purchase my celebration treat. You all know how it goes. Celebrate the miles stones with the risk of bad news always on the horizon. I was telling Jeff in his post, I am a good 90% positive, but the hardest times for me are at night and the few weeks before getting the results from blood test and scans. But for now I am 18 months NED. Sue - Turbrit |

Enjoy the braclet, you deserve it and if it makes you smile, why the heck not? I bought a camera this summer when I was shooting sports. I had cameras that were good for some things, but for sports there was one that was spot on. Figured why not? As I tell people the cost of the camera compared to how it helped me get through the chemo and put my mind in a good place was really nothing compared to one chemo sessions or finding a way to exercise (walked a ton shooting ]) or going to speak to people to work through the mental aspects. I will be getting my results next month, almost exactly nine months to the day of my surgery. I my buy a braclet myself (or a lens maybe ;) ) Congrats on th NED

Can't wait to see a picture of that bracelet! My vote is you purchase it now as a treat for what you have been through. Just do it! I doubt you will regret it if it brings you joy.

Congrats Sue
I've always played as being cautiously optimistic about the whole thing.
I don't believe anyone ever stops getting scanxiety. I'm down to 2-3 days at most.
Keep up the great work and enjoy!!!
18 months NED sure beats 18 months dead! I apologize if my gallows humor offends anyone
