      Hello everyone,

      I have never created a topic here, but I have been so uplifted by everything I read here in the past year that I have to.

      Quick story: I was stage 1 in 2007, until a groin lymph node popped at the beginning of the year.

      After months and months of scans, scares, one lymph node surgery, I was finally staged yesterday. I am «only» a stage 3, and I am NED. There was that only one (big) lymph node with cancer.

      Kelly, we could have cried together last night, because that's all I did too. I cried over the good news, but also the unfairness of it all. How did I get the best pathology report I could hope for?

      Reading all the posts here kept me sane through it all. I am not commenting often, but you are all in my thoughts. There is hope, always.

      Merci,

      Marie

          Just wonderful Marie. Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.

                  Hi Sissy, im Mike nice to meet you, so glad of your NED, im starting to see this more and more with folks as time goes on into the future of Immunal {and surgery} Warfare. You asked yourself in your post "How could you get such a good Pathology report ever", well, Thank your higher Power first & foremost, then you should slip in to your Surgeons office one day with a card, or a box a chocolates or a gift card for a local Coffee Shop {not StarBucks though, they suck}, theres a whole team involved thats responsable for your NED, both Earthly & Spiritualy…
