1. Congratulations!
I have so many friends who are survivors well beyond the 10 year mark. May they keep making progress in treatment so that we can quit holding our breath everyday just waiting for that lump to appear. I am so very happy for you and your wife.

2. You have encouraged me.
It's been just a year since my diagnosis and I have to tell you that I will always wonder what's in store.

7. Well, you have given me much needed hope and a smile.
I just finished up treatment and such last month and I will admit that more than once (like just about every day) think about what is in store for me. I got a good diagnosis, excellent prognosis and outlook but once cancer has left its calling card I don't know if you every truly put it behind you and don't wonder about tomorrow, or next month, or next year.

Glad to hear your wife is doing so well. Congrats.
