I am so happy right now.. I had a life threatening disease that guaranteed me a slow, painful death as I got older and in the past, was thought to be incurable. I started a treatment earlier this year and was extremely skeptical, considering I've been plagued with this disease for the past 20 years and have tried treatments in the past. I just got a call from my doctor regarding the follow up blood work that was done recently, to see if it was still undetectable in my blood and it is. With that being said, I am COMPLETELY CURED of a disease that was going to KILL ME in my future. I can't get the smile off of my face today! Now I can continue to buy/collect toys FOREVER!!
That's great news! My ex was under very aggressive treatment for cancer for about 2 years and has had to undergo multiple surgeries, chemo, radiation, etc. Getting those clear scans and confirmations is a great relief. Treat yo self!
Awesome news Noel!! I can only imagine the weight that's just been lifted off your chest. A massive congratulations to you!!
Congratulations! Modern medicine is awesome. Go get yourself some toys and hold a celebration on the toy shelf!
I thought that this was going to be a thread about Cure, until I noticed that it was in Whatever. Congratulations! I wish you all the best going forward Noel.
I'd imagine the feeling is equatable to invincibility, as well as being unbelievably thankful and relieved! This is really awesome to read on. Celebrations are to be had!!! To a clean bill of health to start 2017!
Congratulations, @noeleaser ! I can't imagine what that must be like, but without question, it's the ultimate win.
I totally thought with this good luck streak that I'd win this latest Shirahama lottery. Unfortunately I'm not THAT lucky.. lol! Thanks again, everyone, it really does warm my soft vinyl heart..
Bingo.. I felt invincible for a hot minute, then I realized that I'm in my fourties. Then I start to panic about being halfway there.. lol.. Midlife crisis in full effect! Thanks again man, maybe we'll cross paths again af Stranger Factory in March. You going again this year?
I thought the title for this topic was a whimsical way of saying to show off CURE toys, lol. Great to hear that you are well now and beat deaths door. Wishing you continue good health for 2017 and on.
This is such good news, I'm so happy for you Noel! You took a chance and it paid off handsomely. We have to celebrate next time we see each other.
Better to have a midlife crisis, than a no life at all, I think most would say! I'm fully intending on being at Stranger Factory in March! Hopefully we'll garnish some conversation amidst more of Paul's phenomenal contributions.
Congratulations and a toast to you and good health, Noel. It's so nice to hear about some truly positive news on the board. I am genuinely very happy for you, and wish you - and everyone struggling with the 'serious stuff' - nothing but the very best. No one deserves to have to go through these things, but unfortunately [for now] it is a part of life. I'd just take this opportunity to express how important it is to support research for reasons just like this. There is always hope. Go out and enjoy life and everything it has to offer. And may your toy collecting continue to bring you joy, and be reminder of the simple pleasures. Many wishes for long health and happiness, Noel.
