OT: Wife is cancer free today!!

Submitted by justthinking on September 4th, 2019 at 3:24 PM

Today is a day of ecstatic celebration as we learned my wife’s recent PET scan is clear and there is no evidence of lymphoma anywhere in her body! 

Tremendous thanks to the wonderful U of M Rogel Cancer Center doctors, pharmacists and chemo nurses that brought my wife through and out of the bowels of cancer hell!

Truly Leaders and Best! Go Blue!

Congratulations!!!  My girlfriend had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and has been cancer free for 33 years and counting.  I mention this because you and your wife should know that some people do beat cancer and I wish your wife the same fortune.

That's great!

I've had 1 1/2 years of positive checkups after treatment for throat cancer, so I can relate.  It's a tough road, but the responses in this thread make it clear that it is unfortunately a crowded road.  Fuck cancer, indeed.

Congratulations, and thank you for sharing!

Too much of the news we get that helps to level set priorities is scary and bad.  This is a chance to be grateful and feel good, while also reflecting on what is truly important.
