Bill - Love to all I'm nearing 5 years out and doing well. I just want to send love to everyone here. Though I'm sorry any of us ever had reason to come here, I give thanks and love to all of you who helped me through my bout with the big C. I hope I helped someone along the way as well. And I wish peace to those who were here once but have left us. They were strong and fought well and were loved.
And to those … more…

Ben - 18 Months Post-Treatment - Update I saw my doctor a couple weeks ago, about a year and a half after finishing chemotherapy and radiation, and continue to have good results. The CT scan shows no obvious cause for worry, and there's no sign of the tumor coming back. They've decided I only need to come back on a 6-months basis instead of a check-up every 3 months.

Dale - 10 Years Ago Today It was 10 years ago on this exact day that I was introduced to the most wretched, horrid thing on this planet, Cancer. It started as a small dull ache in my gut. Unfortunately for me, it happened just after the Canadian Thanksgiving. I went to see the doctor, and statistically, it made sense that it should have been from all the excessive eating and drinking from the weekend (bacteria or what-not from the turkey). I gave it a couple … more…
