Hi Janine, hard to believe it's been a year. Just to let you all know that I just passed my five year scan. Everything is fine, it doesn't seem like five years since I was terrified by a dx of lung cancer. I knew nothing about it but thanks to you and Inspire I soon learned it was not a death sentence. No question just to offer hope to other frightened people.

Hi Carol!

It's wonderful to hear about your anniversary! Only those with cancer and and to a different measure those who love and care for them know just what this news means. Thanks a million for letting us know and bask in the hope. I'd like to say don't be a stranger, but do. :) We'll look forward to hearing from you next year and of course anytime you feel like it!

Congratulations!
Janine

Thanks Janice, I still find it hard to believe it's been five years. I haven't really had any questions but I do check in sometimes to see if there is anything new. I will say hello more often! I know you like cats any suggestions for dealing with an elderly Birmen with dementia!!

Oh, poor kitty. Lots of Love and understanding? Maybe a kitty diaper? Sick pets are difficult, they can't tell you what's happening. I hope it does alright.

You are always welcome to comment. We always can use the perspective of someone who's been there.
