Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,918 Likes: 70 | Always nice to hear good news. People often come here predominantly when things are in the difficult process of treatments, or when something has not gone well. A positive post shows newbies that it does get better, and survivors are the ones that come back to help others, so thanks for the post and checking in. B
