...mine was a golf ball size lung tumor. I had always made sure to have a chest xray because of emphysema, so it was caught in time and removed. I have been visiting a cancer center for five years with CT scans. I'm happy to hear you're another survivor.

Mine was Squamous Cell Carcinoma. They said it was from the HPV virus. It was caught early. Glad to see you are a survivor.

but I'm indescribably ecstatic while giving thanks, on my knees, just in case that is what's needed.
I'm thanking for you and your endurance and attitude and I'm thanking for me because it weighed on me a lot.

It is. My personal belief is that gratitude of that proportion will tell your guardian angels that you are paying attention.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
