marym Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hi All, I'm writing today because I'm happy to be alive. Just about a year ago, I began visiting the doctor where eventually my dx was arrived at. The doctors told me I had 6 mo to maybe a year. Now its a yaer later. In general I feel vey well. I have tolerated chemo easily and really haven't been ill. Except for some ill advised meds and some bad blood counts, I'm doing well. When I think that I wasn't sure I would be alive at Christmas... All I can say is don't trust estimates and savor each day. Hope you all can celebrate your life. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
