He sees the doctor every 3 months and every 3 months they tell us the same thing -- that it is very likely to come back -- but every 3 months he proves them wrong! What do they know about his SPIRIT anyway ;-) Stay STRONG and fill your life with LOVE and JOY.

I know exactly what you are going through and completely agree. When my wife was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2005 she had a stem cell transplant and was told the odds were she would be cancer free for 2 to 5 yrs. She also goes for a checkup every 3 months and is now just weeks away from reaching 5yrs being cancer free. We made the decision to retire early and it has been a godsend for her as she is enjoying every minute of it. The prospect of a treatment center close by as compared to what she/we had to endure in CT when she was going through treatment is very important to us but we also hold out hope that she never has to go through that process again. Best wishes.
