Gpanda Gets Cheer
 
I had an MRI today that showed that the tumor actually got smaller when compared to the size prior to radiation, chemo and experimental drug. This is the best possible news. Beth and I are ecstatic. It will give us an opportunity to return to Asia. Thanks to everyone (with one notable exception) that gave me so much emotional support. The original cheer thread really helped Beth and me.

BTW, Amy, the editor, said Fodors would extend some leeway in allowing this thread to exist on the Asia Forum.

Thanks again. The penalties will continue to be assessed!

Great news Gpanda!

Let me be the first to congratulate you! I guess we will have to endure more of your barbs and silliness for some time to come!!!

Craig Jun 24th, 2010 12:55 PM

Fantastic! We look forward to helping you plan that next trip.

Eks...you have to endure his barbs and silliness on line....try it is person. As we have said before, Bless St Beth. Now maybe we can get them to be in BKK in Nov along with the rest of us for a big Fodors GTG.

This is great news panda. I started lurking here just as you were diagnosed, and I got caught up in all the wonderful messages and repartee that followed.

Only just now getting down to brass tacks of planning of Jan/Feb trip to SEA. .

So we don't have to write any more limmericks?

Be well.

Great news, this calls for a amnesty period on late trip reports.......maybe the Celtics and Red Sox will take heed and stop coming in second....couldn't resist,lol.

Now let the Asia planning begin!

Aloha!

cruisinred Jun 24th, 2010 03:14 PM

Awesome! Great news.

ekscrunchy Jun 24th, 2010 03:21 PM

I'm all for the amnesty!

Gpanda Jun 24th, 2010 03:55 PM

No amnesty! The usual penalties apply.

There once was a Fodorite diminshed
Who's trip report never got finished.
The penalty was high
Didn't even try
But was well aware that she had sin-ished.

What, you thought brain cancer would improve my sense of humor?

Thanks for the good wishes.

Marija Jun 24th, 2010 03:56 PM

Wonderful!

Hanuman Jun 24th, 2010 04:06 PM

Very good news Andy!

DonTopaz Jun 24th, 2010 04:22 PM

That is very, very good to hear.

abby97 Jun 24th, 2010 04:23 PM

That's great news! I am new to the Asia forum and am very much enjoying getting to know the wonderful "family" of posters on this forum. Best wishes to you, Gpanda.
