  1. April 1 marks the day in 2004 I was discharged from the hospital after surgery to repair my spontaneously broken femur, which in turn led to my dx of NSCLC Adenocarcenoma stage 4 (liver, spine, more bones and brain). 2 years later, all is 'unremarkable' on the scans and MRI - nothing happening anywhere! I seem to have that mutant gene that makes Iressa do its thing. Every day my husband Randy starts the day by saying 'Look, another great day' and ends it by saying 'we've just had another great day'. We've learned to take each day as it comes and to be grateful for what we've been given. Just this morning Randy admitted he didn't take pictures of me the first year I was sick because he didn't want to remember me that way - no one expected me to be around today and certainly didn't imagine I'd be totally cancer free. Fortunately, no one told me and it has never occurred to me that I would not keep going. So, in a few weeks, we are going to celebrate having dodged all the bullets that came our way in 2004, and host a party to honor and thank a fantastic support net! Docs, nurses, friends and the prayer groups and all the people who get my husband's newsletter and are given hope that their loved ones can make it, too! Now, if I can only figure out why my hair is falling out again... Best to you all! Carol
