Patti B Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hi all- Today marks 30 months (2 1/2 years) since my official diagnosis. I am on my 5th line of chemo with more options to go and feeling pretty darn good!!! Please let this be a message to all the newly diagnosed survivors and their caregivers - PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO STATISTICS OR TIMELINES!!! My doc told me 12 months tops!!! And here I am, still annoying the heck out of my friends and family!!! This has been one hell of a roller coaster ride so far and so many of you have helped me through some lousy times so I thank you all. Meet you all at the Pub - I am DEF buying as many rounds as you all can drink. Oh, and an extra round for Tom who is also celebrating a milestone today!!! Hugs - Patti B.

recce101 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Congratulations, Patti! I don't know what it is about 30 months, but that milestone gave me a nice lift too when I passed it on March 1. Then there'll be 31, and 32 — heck, they're all good! Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaminkw Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Patti, I had to come out of "lurking" status to congratulate you and join you and all your well-wishers in the pub for a drink! 30 months is great but you feeling "pretty darn good" is the best. You had a rough time there for awhile and had us worried, but you came through it with flying colors. All the best girl!

Donna G Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Wonderful news! 30 months and soon it will be 3 years! Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Wow, Patti!!!!! Sorry it's taken so long to get to the Pub. Not many folks stopping by lately! Hopefully all the stools will be filled upon hearing your great news. I'll be the first to raise a glass in celebration. I know the feeling of outliving an expiration date. This is the 5th spring I've seen flowers - wasnt' supposed to see ANY of them! Lucky us. Here's to 30 more months, and 30 more months, and 30 more months until we are both such old women we can't count them anymore. Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
