5 years ago today I was in the operating room at the National Institutes of Health undergoing an 8-1/2 hour life-saving surgery. I was dx'd in Sept. '04 and given no hope of surviving beyond the spring of '05. I actually count my survival from that Sept., but my very favorite surgeon said HE counts from his surgery. So I get to celebrate twice! I already did back in the fall, but today I will celebrate big time!

So..........here's hope to all you newbies and thanks to all who've been with me anywhere along the way as I traveled this road.

Fred and I have encountered a few bumps in the road since Thanksgiging which is a story for another time. But today I want to shout out a thanks to Katie for this site, to DonnaG for responding to me, and mhutch for giving me the info to get me to where I could find hope and help. You guys are all awesome and my true heroes! Thank you.

Kasey, Congratulations! five years ago today you were in the operating room and five years ago today I received the results of my biopsy and was told that I had lung cancer. I am so very grateful that I am here to celebrate my five year anniversary of diagnosis with you.

Well...............all your responses have brought me to tears for the third time today. The first ~ when I opened my eyse this morning. The second ~ playing bridge with gals I didn't know before this past summer. Somehow, not important how, the reading of scans came up. Happens that the husband of one of the gals read some of mine 5 years ago. That brought about the discolosure of my dx and prognosis. The women were awestruck and brought me to tears again. And now you guys. I am blessed many times over.

Yes, Snowflake, you DID tell me so. And in spite of what you said, I WASTED 2 years in worry. My love and gratitiude to all LCSC members. You are all the very BEST!

xoxo,

Congratulations my friend, I'm impressed with your new signature........Kasey, 5 year survivor etc. Be proud of your successes, there was never any doubt on my part that you had it made. I'm celebrating when I get home from the hospital (tomorrow) so I shall be a day late but I'll raise my ginger ale in the mean time.

Love you old broad......isn't it nice to be a surviving old broad
