Just a thought:

Why is it in medicine that a Negative is a Positive

And a Positive is a Negative

Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Random thoughtless thinking.

Congrats Joey! I love to hear about reaching that 5 year mark! The bigger that number, all the better.

Alan... great minds think alike. I'm on my first 1-year cycle so I had my primary doc send a sample for cytology at around 6 months out which came back clear. That gave me a bit of comfort until my one-year appointment in October.

I'm still in the 3-plus year club but hope to join the rest of you "Fivers" when that time comes.

Best wishes... Catherine
