    Cathy- Don’t ever feel bad about posting your story. Please, all of you out there that are lucky enough to be CC free, DO NOT feel bad about it. Be happy and proud that you beat the evil monster. I, for one can say I am so happy for you. You give me hope that someday my daughter and everyone else suffering with CC might end up like you!! Don’t ever feel guilty or bad about being one of the lucky ones. Spread the word and help us beat CC. Love you all.

    Hi Cathy,
    Have you read any posts from 32coupe who was diagnosed in 1996 I think…. an amazing story. (Hi bob if you read this.) Otherwise I’m not sure about CC free members. It would be nice if there was a site to write those success stories.
    I will be thinking of you next week and will be hoping for good scan results for you. It’s always scary getting those results!
    Best Wishes!

    Dianne-Glad to hear positive outcome stories. I am 2 years cancer free and also feel some what bad when posting my story, but until there is more than just one handful of success stories on this site we need to keep telling our CC family there is HOPE!
    Dianne-I see either my transplant/liver doctors and oncologist every 3 months, they like that I see a doctor every 3 months. I aslo do blood draws every month and scans every 6 months. I have my next scans Feb 2 2012.
    I am curious how many cancer free CC members there are. I know of Jim Wilde, and Randi. ??
    Keep posting and giving HOPE!!
    Lots of prayers-Cathy

    Both Dianne and Randi:
    It’s so good to hear numbers before the words cancer free. It really does give us hope. It’s such a terrible disease that I for one really appreciate hearing that people have been able to beat it for over a year. I’m hoping that after my surgery in the next month or two (this is my 2nd surgery, where they are going to do the resection) I will hear the words clean margins and that 2 years from now I can post the same thing as you!
    Actually, I hope in 5 years I can put a 5 in front of the words cancer free!!
    Keep it up and post again, especially next year!!

    So Dianne,

    I took a tour down memory lane and looked at some of your posts from the past because your course sounds so much like mine. Well of course we’ve traded comments before! So glad to hear from you again. Again we are on the same course…I have a scan on Feb 7th. We are 2-year survivors you and me! Yippee.

    Feel free to email me directly if you ever want to compare notes. randi.barrell@gmail.com.

    happy to hear you are doing so well. I think this board needs it’s share of good stories, so keep that good news coming!

    Hugs.
    -Randi-

Neverfeel guilty that you are doing well as that is what gives others the hope they need to fight this dreadful CC. I hope for you to continue on your path of Cancer free!

    It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted…I almost feel guilty doing so because I’m doing so well while others are not. But I decided to post a comment to show that there is hope! I had surgery at Mayo in Rochester, MN on 1/5/10 to resect my tumor, which by the way had clean margins. I did not have chemo or radiation because my surgeon felt it would not benefit me and could cause harm. I’ve gone back to Mayo every 3 to 6 months, and have had a few bumps along the way, but am now mostly feeling like my “old self.” I had not seen an oncologist at Mayo, but I requested a referral to Dr. Alberts and saw him 12/11. He assured me that my treatment would not have been different if I’d seen him earlier. I still worry a bit about recurrence, especially before returning to Mayo for my scans and blood work, but I do not let it get in the way of living life. My very best wishes to all of you fighting this horrible illness for yourselves or for loved ones.
