    Just stopping in to say Hi.

    I also "graduated" to yearly visits to my surg. onc.  I see the med. onc in March.  Hopefully I can graduate to yearly visits with him as well.  I would love to stagger one in the summer, and the other in the spring so will still be monitored every 6 months.  Either way, there must be some reason why I am sticking around.

    I am so happy for my girls, Emma now 5, and Jade now 8.

    Aloha Y'all'

      Hi Kim

      Congrats on your 3 years and being in the 6% club.I'm always happy to hear of an IL-2 success story.

      I did IL-2 almost 2 years ago, and although not in your club, I have achieved almost stability of my lung nodules after VAT.
