Great News!

Hi Jan, this is indeed great news, now to try and move on without continualy looking over your shoulder ((hugs))

Hi Highlander

 My haematologist introduced me to his new nurse as his wonder patient, who no one thought would make it, as I had really been through the mill with this horrible disease, but that I'm a fighter who had surprised them all!

When I asked when he thought it would come back he told me not to think like that and that some new studies in France showed that of  those who had their chemo, followed by the two years' Rituximab, 52% had passed the ten year mark with no recurrence!  My aim is to become one of those 52%!

Now looking forward to my Norwegian cruise in June!

This is great Jan and a Norwegian Cruse sounds just a great way to celebrate.

Please keep coming in past the Community as stories like yours can be a great encouragement to folks looking down that dark treatment tunnel ((hugs))

Will do Highlander. I haven't been on here for a while as, as I previously mentioned, I was made redundant as at 31/12. after 32 years service!  So, I've been busy setting up my own Company!  Only need to work 4 days a month to earn what I earned in a month previously!  Nice to see it lining my pockets rather than somebody else's!

Oh Jan, your new life brings new goals, well done you and all the best with your new. venture and even better that you don’t need to work full time

hi jan, good read all is still well, I have pinched this from the lymphoma action site, rather than think watch and wait, think watch and live! and good luck with the new venture, sounds like semi-retirement which is even better.

Thanks Mike!

Great News! Power and positive mental attitude! So happy you're getting on with your living and the cruise sounds fab. You're one of the nearest case studies to me with the transformed, spinal meth, mother of 90 etc etc. Great that you can work for yourself and smarter, not harder. Best of luck to you xxx

That's such good news for you to hear Jan.

It gives me hope halfway R maintenance, that I too will get to that position .

Best Wishes
