Sorry for the big snip! You lucky Dog! Congrats, what will you do with all
that spare time not running for scans and such?
Good for you!

Well done, Bobert, but please ----- your scan is "clear", not "clean".
Concepts of cancer being "dirty" are not helpful

hehe...I saw someone else use something similar - they like your CCKMA.
Yes, that's kewl about Bobert.

I'm sorry about my pitiful response yesterday.
I think many of us are in "holding pattern" about Penny and, well, I'm feeling a lot
"distracted" these days.
A roll call will probably be forthcoming soon.
If anyone wants attention (ie support or report status or question), please post.

Yea I donated through Pennies for Cancer and email a wonderful mother
and son and they seemed delighted at it too. Never thought it would be
a catchy tag line.

Love ya all

Wonderful news Bob.   I heard (or read; my mind is in disarray lately)
recently that 90% of patient's who are NED for two years are "cured". If I
remember where I heard/read that I'll let y'all know :-)

I think it was Steph that said it and I read here.  It's getting late, I
better get to bed before I embarrass myself any further.

Sweetdreams.
