Veron, thank you so much for posting about your 11 years, thus far, survival of this terrible cancer. For the many newly diagnosed people who come here, it is a bright ray of hope to hear from people who have lived very well so many years beyond treatment. Congratulations, and I wish you many decades more. When I was having rad, I mentioned to the doc that I planned to live to be a feisty old woman of 87. His response was "Why only 87?" and I think he had a good point. Thanks again for your hope-giving post.
