bobmc Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Hey all, Beautiful weekend in Northern Jersey, cut the grass, racked leaves, got a new storm door on, washed & waxed the car and just realized they took the cancer and lung out 2 and 1/2 years ago. Yes, half way to that big five year mark. OK, also, quite a bit sore but feeling real good, GOOD TO BE A SURVIVOR TODAY!!!!, and great to be a member here!!! Now, I know I gotta stay right sized but American Cancer Society had me update my story and they have it as one of their features this month for lung cancer awareness month. here's the link: http://www.acscsn.org/view/viewer?objec ... 1038964738 God bless and be well Bobmc- NSCLC- stageIIB- left pneumonectomy- 5/2/01 " absolutey insist on enjoying life today!"

Debi Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Bob... A big woooooo hoooooooooo for your "halfway" mark!!! You are an inspiration! Read your article...I like the "Marlboro miles for cancer" title. I collected those damn miles too... Your post came at a good time...today was a very stressful day for me and I probably came the closest to buying a pack of cigarettes yet. Took alot of talking to myself and thinking it through. Sometimes its one minute at a time.....what an addiction, huh? Anyway Bob, thanks and a HUGE congratulations!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
