    Ten years is a long time, long enough for many advances to be made in medical field. Just don't add too many dare devil adventures to that list of things to do and you'll be around to take advantage of more cures than are even imagined at this date.

    In the meantime, don't you hesitate to check in with your status. It can't hurt to have all these folks pulling for you or at you.

    My doctor just called me. The results of my last CT Scan are normal. No new tumours and the ones I have, have not grown....in fact one of them has shrunk from 8 mm in January to 3 mm now.

    I don't need another scan until August, 2010. While I will never be cancer free I would like to think that I'm now in some kind of remission.

    This is so much more than I hoped for. As far as I'm concerned, this is my payment for writing my LOA cheque.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    That sounds great! You must feel so relieved to have a whole 'nother year before you need another scan! Congratulations, and sending you hugs!
