Best wishes. It's great to hear you are doing well. Keep up the good work!
John,

This is one instance in which being negative is a positive thing! <g> I'll settle for not less than 75 or 80 more negative reports like this one!

Great news, Kira. So glad to see you posting. 2.5 years -- half way there already. Yay!
Ozij,

Half way there, yeah! It both seems like it has been forever and not that long at all. BTW, currently reading Beyond a Shadow of a Diet. Fascinating.
It is.

Time to update this thread!!

I've mentioned having had surgery for endometrial cancer on 7 April 2008. For my first two years, I had to have labs every four months. All of them were NEGATIVE.

At my visit in January 2010, the oncologist told me it could now be every six months. And that the labs could be done by my regular gynecologist -- that she (the oncologist) didn't think I needed her any more!

I have just received my results for the May 2011 labs -- NEGATIVE!

Only two more years until I can be declared cancer-free... and take the dream vacation Harry and I have been thinking of through the Canadian Rockies... on the Rocky Mountaineer.

Heh. Aging sucks, but it's still better than the alternative.

My husband's uncle used to say that he didn't care what color his hair turned as long as it didn't turn loose, and that he didn't care which number birthday it was as long as it wasn't his last!

Somehow I don't think you'd care for the alternative.

Congrats!!!
