Congratulation jjj, 4 years clear and now officially in remission

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

4 years ago this community bonded together to support one of our most loved and talented members. Jeanette (jjjnettie) underwent emergency lifesaving surgery for colo-rectal cancer and since then she has gone through 3 more major surgery's (preventative and corrective) as well as almost continuous intrusive tests and examinations.

Since then her world has turned upside down in so many ways but still she battles on. She is without doubt one of the bravest, strongest and most determined persons I know. The vast majority of her friends will never know what she has had to endure over these past 4 years, and not just related to the cancer. I feel so blessed to be one of those closest to Nettie. She is without doubt my closest and loved friend and my world would be so so much less without her in it.

So I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate my dearest and best friend jjjnettie on her official "Remission Day" and hope for at least another 40 more.

All the best Nettie

Indeed Paul. All the best to you Nettie - you're one tough duck!

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Thanks Paul. Thanks everyone.
It's been a rough road alright. Plenty of obstacles still in way.
And in all honesty, I couldn't have made it without the support of my friends, here on IIS.
Though having Lynch Syndrome means I'll never be completely in remission, worst luck.
Today's anniversary will be celebrated with my 2 youngest boys.

You do realize Peter that 4 weeks after that initial major, and I'm talking MAJOR surgery she was plowing on through the night sky at astrofest. Now that's dedication and determination. :thumbups:

JJJ, this is great news and thanks to Paul for the news and kind words. I also didn't know the extent of your problems. It's amazing you are so positive while facing such difficulties. Quite inspiring really.

All the best for the future and I hope to hear a lot more from you on the forum for a looong time to come. How long until you have more posts than the Iceman??

Congratualtions JJJ,

Though we have never met I have always felt your warmth and encouragement to others through this forum - you are clearly a loving and caring person.

I had no idea of the road you have travelled and like another member her being married to a cancer survivor makes me realise the inner strength you have brought to bear over the last few years. Well done. It's a tough ol' battle but greatly assisted by positive mental attitude and clearly you and those around you have that in spades.

All the very best for the future.
