I got my CAT scan results.

[alfredo]

The neck tumor is undetectable, the tongue tumor has been reduced considerably. They told me the radiation is still killing cancer cells, so in a few months I will get a PET scan. i will be buying that camera

[elleng]

1. YAAAAY!!!

[alfredo]

17. Tks

[redwitch]

2. So nice to hear the good news!

[alfredo]

18. Damn straight it is good news

[Mira]

3. This is so wonderful, and a large stone has fallen

off my worried heart. A red letter day for you and your family and all who love you and care beyond that.
Can't wait to know you have the camera, and can't wait to know you are out and about taking photographs and sharing them with us.

I am so grateful

[alfredo]

21. Tomorrow I see the radiologist for a more detailed diagnosis

I will see what it all means. His read will be definitive.

[Mira]

23. Breathe easy...

Save the energy you have for the recovery and the photo shoots
this is a huge step in the right direction

[alfredo]

53. Sure is.

[yellerpup]

4. Great, great, great!

Maybe you can rent that camera back to them. Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery.

[alfredo]

22. Naw, I will give my old camera to a family member.

No turning back

[Nay]

5. Wonderful news!!

[alfredo]

24. I'd grin, but it hurts. :)

[Dustlawyer]

6. Great! I was lucky and caught my Melanoma quickly where all I had was a big chunk cut out, but no

chemo or radiation. I hope you don't have to have any more and the rest goes away very quickly!

[alfredo]

25. If I have to, I'll deal with it

[Dustlawyer]

43. You do what you have to do! I have represented literally thousands of cancer victims.

Victims of asbestos that the major companies like Johns Manville and Owens Corning (Pink Panther) knew from their own study, along with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (Snoopy) that their base product, used in thousands of products, caused colon, throat, and lung cancer, and the worst of them all, Mesothelioma!

These victims, for the most part, had a positive attitude that overall seemed to make a difference in survival and longevity. It also got them more treatment because they could withstand more chemo and radiation. That to me seemed to be a common denominator, along with the ability to make themselves eat to keep up their strength even when it was the last thing they wanted to do. One sent me a picture of a cabinet full of Ramen Noodles because that was all that he could eat, but kept eating he did!

[alfredo]

51. Attitude helped me through my Crohn's disease.

[emsimon33]

7. Fabulous news!

[alfredo]

26. :)

[snagglepuss]

8. YAY! All my best to you.

[alfredo]

27. I can't wait for my first Gyro.

[blm]

9. ((alfredo))

Hugs…. always.

[alfredo]

28. That will make me cough. :)

[blm]

37. heheh….

I was coughing so much and so hard last year I cracked a rib. Hoits, don't it?

[alfredo]

68. Sure does hurt, but I'll get over it.

[democrank]

10. Such good news!

Stay strong~

[alfredo]

35. I now know I am strong, and that was the gift of the Cancer

[lexington filly]

11. I'm happy for you and you sure deserve any camera you want. When my daughter

was diagnosed and going through treatment, she wanted a new couch which she called her "cancer couch" as a joke.
Then she got a kitten. Same joke. But it's no joke that people need to both comfort themselves during terrible times and reward themselves for a battle well fought. I'll think warm thoughts of you enjoying your camera!

[alfredo]

15. Thanks. You from Lexington ky?

[renate]

12. yay!!!!

[alfredo]

29. It made my day

[Habibi]

True. No one is more thrilled than the one with the good news.

I am thrilled though. You're one of my favorite people. I want you around for a long time.

[alfredo]

32. That's my intention

[Solly Mack]

46. That and the camera, :)

[alfredo]

50. Tomorrow after the radiologist I will take the plunge.

[Solly Mack]

60. Sweet! Then you'll share your photos

and I'll be jealous, and you'll be modest.

[alfredo]

65. Don't expect too much. Too weak and out of it to drive, so output will be limited.

[Solly Mack]

71. I grok.

In time...

[alfredo]

72. Here is the camera

[Solly Mack]

it's a marathon but glad you are on the way -- happy to hear your news update

[alfredo]

54. I still feel like shit, but that's OK.

[mnhtnbb]

41. Hooray!

Cannot wait to see photos from the new camera!

[alfredo]

55. Same here. The image quality should be the same, but there's features I will gain.

Focus peaking and tilt LCD is what I desired. There are more external controls, making for faster operation.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

42. Good to hear, alfredo

Very, very good news! Continued good health to you, sir.

[tonyt53]

69. I have a friend that had his last treatment last week for cancer in nearly identical locations

I also had a tumor removed from my right kidney last week. I know I am very lucky for it to have been found at that stage, and completely by accident. Keep up the good fight!!!!! And buy that camera and use it to commemorate your life

[alfredo]

74. Thanks. mine was caused by the HPV virus.

If it was from smoking it would have been tougher to treat.

Here's the beauty.

[CaliforniaPeggy]
