Current Joys

[tdb810]

I believe this qualifies.  

My dad, 74, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer exactly 5 years ago.  His form of cancer has a 2-3% survival rate after 5 years.

On Thursday, his oncology team discharged him from his treatment group.  A participant in an experimental treatment regimen for pancreatic cancer, my dad has been cancer-free for nearly three years.

The surgery, chemo, and radiation have beat the shit out of his body, but he is a lucky man.  And I, a lucky son.

Awesome, awesome news!

and...btw   RESEARCH ROCKS!!!  I love the fact that he tried an experimental regimen and it was effective for him!  

Best wishes! :D

Awesome YYac.  My mom's doctor gave her one year.   That was more than 5 years ago.  Feels damn good to win some.  It was her diagnosis and my love of MMJ that I believe brought me to this board and all of you lovely people.  It gave me someone else to talk to in a rough time in my life.  This was my first post.  Totally cheesy reading it back now. ;D  

God bless you and your dad JY.

Not cheesy at all. It was good to welcome you here and become friends. I didn't realise it has been so long!

Great to know your mother's doing well  :)

hehehe it's almost too easy.  I hope I don't break any hearts, it most certainly is not my intent.

MMJ in Chicago has gotta one of the funnest crowds around.  I'll have to keep my eye on that show, I've got a cousin I could stay with who teachers there.  Wish it wasn't a tuesday...  need.to.see.my.morning.jacket.again.soon.or.i.will.die.

It's so great to hear stories of people actually kicking cancer's ass!  Unfortunately, my wife's father wasn't so lucky.  It's been 2 years since he's gone on to a better place.  He faught the good fight for 3 years!
