Good News from Bonnie Scotland.

In Scotland following radical treatments,lung cancer patients are followed up by 6 monthly checkups for five years,this morning was my last check up,my daughter and her boyfriend came along to the hospital with me.If I was NED,they were going to treat me to a lunch(well hopefully,they would treat me anyway if it gone the other way LOL).Having been checked out,the senior oncologist said Eric we do have some complete successes,in your case I am confident in using the word cured,now go away I dont expect to see you again,we shook hands and parted.I did share a celebratory lunch with Jennifer and Chris.

I just wanted to share this with you guys,I always appreciated hearing about someones success,it always gave me a lift,I hope this has something positive to say to you.

Best Wishes,

Eric Byrne.

Congratulations Eric.

It is a magical feeling to hear the other C word ''Cured''. I am 2 years in but have a belief that I'm also cured.

So in true Star Trek tradition,

Live long and prosper.

Well done Rab

Wow that is amazing congratulations to you ! My mum has stage 4 lung cancer and wasn't expected to live longer than 6 weeks in the summer she is now exercising twice a week whilest having chemo and running round after everyone. Her friends ask to visit but she always says call first as I might be out we can't keep up with her! Lovely to hear such good news and I wish you and your family well.

What fantastic news. I hope I get the same one day! I had my 2nd clear scan yesterday, although mine are 3 monthly as I had a small local recurrence last year. Going to 6 monthly soon and then hopefully one day I'll be celebrating properly too! Great to hear, I love the positive stories
