-- Fantastic news about Kirsten

Kirsten was diagnosed with cancer in 2004 (sure seems like a long time

ago!). Today we had our 5 year check-up, and she is officially

" cured " ...she now has only the same chance of getting cancer as anyone

else does...apparently 5 years resets you back to zero. We're also now

down to once a year checkups with a follow-up clinic which will monitor

her for long-term complications of her chemo treatments, but that means

one ultrasound/pulmonary test a year, and that's it- no more trudging

around Southern Ontario 4 times a year for a battery of tests (and after

6 hours on a bus today, that's a very, very good thing).

I wasn't expecting any bad news, but I also didn't realize that we were

already at the five year point, so to say that this was an unexpected

happy surprise is an understatement. I've gone through a lot of bad

luck in my life (a lot of it self-inflicted!), but I've always said that

us finding out that she was going to be okay was enough good luck for my

lifetime, and that's more true than ever tonight.

Just wanted to share :-) I can never thank everyone enough for

everything that they've done for us.

Congratulations!!! This is so wonderful! I hardly even know you and I am crying

for you. I read this to my husband and don't know what came over me... But I am

so very happy for you and your little girl and your family. What a miracle!
