    On this day FIVE YEARS AGO! I was having surgery to remove the cancer. I am still NED.

    Since then I have:

    Travelled Europe

    Learned to ride a motorcycle

    Learned to play electric guitar

    Learned some computer programming languages

    Achieved a bachelors degree with honors.

    I'm so happy to be here and I have been looking forward to being able to post on this thread.

    Congratulations to all who have posted their 5year achievement, you have been such inspirations to me. Long may we all continue to dance in the storm.

    Thank you
