Nushka Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Jim, I know what you mean about feeling guilty about good news when everyone else seems to be getting not so good news. I posted about my recent tests and got nothing but positive responses. As you can see, your responses are all positive as well. You have certainly earned your good news and I pray that it remains that way. You are an inspiration to all of us. If I relapse, I will always focus on the fact that it took you several tries to get the right combo. Once you did you got good results. I am so happy for you. Keep it up ok? I already am on cloud nine for this week so look me up ok? It must be a big place to hold all of us that are or will be there soon.

Doughnut Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hello Jim. I'm not sure that we've "met" before. I take it that you've got the point never to feel guilty about posting good news! In fact I'm pretty sure that Peggy nicked your bio to post to somebody the other day who was in despair. Your story is totally inspirational so keep posting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeR Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Jim, I know it has all been said already but WOW what great news. I agree with everyone else that you need hope to get through this horrible journey. You are a perfect example of someone who can do just that...give hope and something to keep them fighting. Keep posting the great news we love to see it. Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBeth Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Hi Jim, I would just like to tell you how much I really needed to read your good news. Your timing could not be a lucky coincidence; SOMEONE knew that I needed just a little bit of hope and faith today. I'm very very happy for you!

Connie B Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Dear Jim, I ditto what EVERYONE ELSE HERE HAS SAID! I also agree that this post belongs in the GOOD NEWS FORUM! Good News is what we ALL need to hear. Do you think I shouldn't feel good that I have beat the odds for the last 10 years? I'm proof this crud can be beat and that you DO LIVE after you have been DX.D with LC. That's just what we ALL need to hear! The good ALWAYS out-weighs the BAD! We need a Shot of Good News more often, (it comes without needles) CONGRATULATIONS!! You have Earned it! I know it wasn't easy to get where your at. Here's to many many many more two year survivorship days! I have a very good friend who is a Stage IV LC survivor of 5+ years. And if that isn't enough, look at our FayA, she's speaks volumes when it comes to being a long term survivor of stage IV! So, there's more proof and good news this can be beat!

TAnn Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Jim, By posting your good news, you give the rest of hope and a new incentive to fight. Please keep posting every single piece of good news you can. There just can't be too much good news around here. You have always inspired me with your "never-give-up" attitude and I couldn't be happier for you. You kicked cancer's *ss!

Carleen Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Jim, Congratulations on NERD!!!! As everyone before me has said, you should not feel guilting for doing well, and for sharing that good news. It is a gift to those of us that are looking for hope. Just the other day, I posted that my husband was starting chemo again, and we were both disappointed and feeling hopeless. It is his 6th line of chemo and we had no faith in it's ability since all the others failed. But then someone shared with me your profile and it gave me hope. It's given my husband the will to keep trying and recieving more tx. Your success is what we wish for, and you let us know that it CAN happen, and there is no reason this can't happen to us too. For inspiring us and restoring my hope I thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnodel Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 As always, I'm a little late but glad to tune in to some good news -- better late than never! So, Hip Hip Hurrah! JimBen -- it's great news and wonderfully encouraging for the rest of us. We need our little fixes of good news in the midst of everything else that's bombarding us all the time. Keep it coming!

stand4hope Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hi Jim, I've felt the same way in the past about posting good news when others weren't doing so well. I think it's a normal feeling, and it just shows you care about others. I'm THRILLED that you have such good news! PRAISE GOD!! Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetg Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Your news is much needed to give the rest of us hope. I'm happy to read happy news. I feel sad when I read sads news. But the bottom line is, I feel more encouraged when I read of similar a diagnosis and the "success" treatment brings. Keep up the great work.
