Kasey Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 It seems so many 'oldtimers' just aren't here posting for one reason or another. They were the ones who 6 years ago supported and rallied round me upon my dx. So...........for the many new folks who do not know my story, you can find it in the 'My Story' forum - Kasey's Story viewtopic.php?f=47&t=15264 Knowing some background will enable you to understand my profound joy and gratefulness that it has been 6 years today since I was officially dx'd with LC. I would say there has been plenty of 'light at the end of my tunnel' as opposed to what the docs here told me. This website literally saved my life. I hope my survival can bring hope to those of you feeling hopeless and lost. And not an anniversary can go by without SHOUTING to dear Miss Katie for this wonderful place and Donna and mhutch for leading me in the right direction. Love to all of you - old and new.

Geri Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Well, I'll be durned.......it's that woman who took us to Intercourse, PA !! Richard has tried to make the grilled lettuce wedge salad he enjoyed so much but it just tastes like semi burned lettuce! We'll have to go there again and take more notice of his plate next time. So good to hear from you, six years - wow Congratulations my friend, here's to many more. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloesmom Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Oldtimer checking in here!(LOL) Many, many congratulations Kasey! I know your story so well because I was here to read about all the twists and turns you suffered during diagnosis and treatment, and now look at you! Six years is just awesome news and I am so happy for you. Stay healthy and celebrate this one in a big way! I hope we can get together sometime again. It seems like yesterday were were together in Chicago and at Katie's in Dallas, but it's been quite a while now, I guess! Time flies when you're feeling good, right? My best to Fred too, Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Congratulations Kasey on 6 years! I knew you could do it!

Ry Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Congratulations! Maybe if someone opened the freaking pub once in awhile attendance would improve! Man we haven't had a decent pub party in forever. I think Katie's buying. I'll have a beer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Rochelle you're a freaking genius! The hell with the beer, it's been one of those days so I'll just take that very large bottle (new one too!) of Bailey's from our fridge and I'll do a BYOB and meet you there. Are you joining us Kasey? I'll share my Bailey's as long as I can drink from the bottle with a very long straw and everyone else has a very small glass!! Is this happening soon..........I have a walk meeting to go to tonight! Now for a shameless plug - Boston Lung Cancer Walk, November 6th, Castle Island, South Boston. Thank you Kasey for allowing me to plug our walk. I love you kiddo. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sis Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 A BIG Congrats to you, Kasey! Wishing you many many many years of continued good health. You, your beautiful niece Tracy, and Randy were some of the very first people I met on this wonderful site. So many people were such a big help to me during my sister's battle with LC. I value your friendships. Although I don't post much anymore, I'm always checking in. Thanks for sharing your great news. Ellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Kasey, you are our hero. Your story is an amazing inspiration to everyone here and to others that don't come here but hear your story. I hope your back is doing better. Are we doing a fall lunch? I am off tomorrow for a 16 day European river cruise. Love ya' Ginny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Kasey, CELEBRATE CELEBRATE those six years. Then celebrate again for all the oldies and newbies you drew with this thread. I'm sort of a middle child, not an oldie or a newbie but one who was lucky enough to meet you. Hope we can find a midpoint between Kutztown and Lancaster to meet again next year. Good going woman!

LovesLife Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Kasey - fashionably late (or just too lazy to get here on time) but I am sending HUGE congratulations your way on six years and counting. I remember when I first joined here the posts with your smiling face were one of the ones I couldn't read enough about. I am so happy that you reached this milestone -not without heartache along the way I know, but you have given much inspiration to so many and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hugs, Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
