I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a merry Christmas. To those of us who have lost someone, I wish for you the strength of remaining family and friends.
To those of us still in battle, I wish for us clean test results, and the strength to continue the battle.
To those who are clear but staying to support the rest, thank you for sharing your strength.
I hope 2013 finds us all in a better place.
In the meantime I am immeasurably thankful for my friends and family, and of course everyone here who have bolstered my spirits when they flagged, and given me hope when I despaired.
I will be thinking of you all, and hoping for the best!

Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 381 | Ok kids, time for my update. Had my follow up today, and not gonna lie, I was pretty nervous, but it was all good news. I am in the clear, and my surgeon was thrilled with my progress.
Another 3 months and we'll test again, but so far so good!
