I have done it. The first year is behind me!!! Let me hear an AMEN!!!!!! I have gone through so much and am at a place in my life where I am at peace. I have battled my demons this year. A biopsy, waking up in ICU being told your okay, it was Cancer but they got it all. Feeling so bad about being ill, feeling like I would never feel 100% again, gaining 30 pounds, getting depressed,having to face my fears, all within nine months. Then it happened about the ninth month, I stopped feeling bad, I am a survivor, a fighter. I had stage 1a adenocarcinoma, but they got it. I am so strong now, at the gym so much I just got a job to teach there. I may have some extra weight on me, but I WILL get it off. I am alive and so happy with life right now. My children just told me how brave I am, they gave me the courage. Happy 1 year!!!!!!! Thank you all for your words over the last year. My prayers go out to all of you, peace to you all!!!

Truly glad you are cured! Congratulation. Please keep your anti-cancer spirit high, and come here often.
I want to borrow this space to make one comment about some proposed LC early detection system: smokers former or current, and those who are at elevated risk of LC, such as those with family history of LC, and those who might be at risk occupationally such as diesel operator or mine worker, ... - all counted, you would still be excluded!

Wow! You are very blessed and it is sooooo good to see people who have been through it all and been "cured". It is possible to be cured of the disease if they act quickly enough. Yeah!!
All my doctors used the word "cured" when discussing stage 1. So happy for you! Go get 'em!
