Today is my 67th birthday. More important, three years ago today I completed 38 radiation treatments and 3 cisplatin treatments, following surgery on my tongue and a neck dissection in May. In spite of eating issues and fatigue, I am still here and so far, cancer free!

Happy belated birthday! EVERY birthday from now on will be cause for great celebration. Coincidentally, my 50th birthday is 8/23 and that is also the date of my follow-up Pet Scan. The best gift EVER will be an 'ALL CLEAR".
There could never be enough confetti, balloons and party horns for every survivor's birthday - every year!! Toot toot!!
........and many more.

Good luck. And apply bday! Hugs!

Got the ALL CLEAR today from my oncologist. I am so thankful and so blessed. And now I can truly start living life as a survivor - not a patient. That will be so good for me. And I've got to figure out just what it is I'm supposed to do with this special second chance. It's not what I was doing before. Not if I intend to live every day happy and peaceful and thankful. My husband and I are seriously considering a move North. Into Oregon. Maybe Washington, but probably Oregon.
Happy days all:)

Congrats Wendy! That is wonderful. Oregon is beautiful, as is WA, you really can't go wrong in either state.

Peace and happiness to you and your husband my dear...you deserve it.

Hi Wendy
Tot toot toot go girl! go! I am just coming back from chemo and radiation and your Bithday post and all clears give me such a lift. 53 year old teenager really with 2 daughters 2 and 4 so I am getiing over the treatment and hoping that the treatment and science have done their bit.
Lets hope you are eating things you like every day.
